How did I get 4.18 Kernel
I have two 18.04 LTS systems, both upgraded from 16.04 LS with do-release-upgrade.
The older upgrade'd system has 4.18.0-21-generic kernel. The most recent(today) has the 4.15.0-51-generic kernel. I believe both should have the 4.15 kernel.
The 4.18 kernel is dated May 15/16.
# ls -l /boot | grep '4\.18'

My written log does not show installing the 4.18 kernel or updating it.
Looking at /var/log/apt, I see
Start-Date: 2019-02-15 08:22:56
Commandline: apt dist-upgrade

What triggered the installation of the 4.18 kernel?
