My apologies, reassigning.

When I reboot, I'll be rebooting into the same kernel, not the newer
ones from sid/experimental. The latter two are only for testing. So no,
I do not need to reboot. The only case where adding a new kernel would
need a reboot would be where you remove one kernel and install a new one
at the same time.
