Not a safe assumption unless you're planning on a BPO kernel. Debian's longer release cycle (esp. freeze window) means despite being released around the same time, $ rmadison -udebian -aamd64 -sjessie linux-image-amd64 debian: linux-image-amd64 | 3.16+63 | jessie | amd64 new: $ rmadison -uubuntu -aamd64 -svivid linux-image-generic linux-image-generic | 3.19.0.14.13 | vivid | amd64 ...Ubuntu 15.04 has a newer kernel than Debian 8.
