Update manager had linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic for me today.

In the description it said

This package contains modules supplied by Ubuntu for Linux kernel 2.6.24 on x86/x86_64.
You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.

I don't recall seeing this before. What does it mean? What is the generic meta-package etc etc?

I take it that this is not a kernel update.
