It rebuilds the current one.

The only issue with adding in kernel to the list is that it assumes the
user has not done an earlier update, updated their kernel and not yet
rebooted. In this case, it may make sense to include the kernel in the
updates list and suggest they do a reboot first, then generate initrd
etc. etc.
