I guess so. What is the reason of this change ?

Not sure it is a good idea. It could lead to the installation of an 
unsigned kernel while a signed kernel was expected. This would make the 
system unbootable with secure boot.

Is it really normal to update the kernel meta-package before the signed 
kernel package the new version depends on is available ?
