I'm preparing to actually do this now...just to see what that grep catches I tried it reversed:

ak@mfj:~$ sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i kernel
kerneloops-daemon install

nfs-kernel-server install
nvidia-173-kernel-source install
nvidia-kernel-common deinstall

vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.17-11 deinstall
vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15 deinstall

vmware-player-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16 deinstall
ak@mfj:~$

Given that most of this isn't the kernel itself I'm going to leave these things in. (even though it gets me a triple helping of vmware)

I'd leave out the "|grep -vi kernel" part, but yes, that's correct.
