    Need help installing oneiric-proposed kernel

    I am subscribed to bug 872711:
    "Kernel does not report some USB printers correctly, making them not being detected by CUPS", and I received an E-mail from Launchpad:
    > This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Oneiric in
    > -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update
    > this bug with the results.
    It goes on to reference this page for instructions on how to install the proposed package:
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
    I checked that my sources included oneiric-proposed, and proceeded to create a file /etc/apt/preferences as indicated (but with "natty" replaced with "oneiric"). Then I went to the next step:
    sudo aptitude -t oneiric-proposed
    I hit 'u' to update, but when I looked at "Upgradable Packages (1)", and hit enter, the only thing there was: net, main, and then google-chrome-beta. So I obviously did something wrong. I thought I was going to find this proposed kernel. Could someone help me out?
    Thanks.
