how does the new kernel get incorporated into LMDE/201403

In the next update pack after it got to Testing? Both it and Sid have 3.13 right now.

But if you're impatient you can try the siduction kernel - no guarantees. Or compile it yourself.

debian experimental have 3.14rc7. the final version isn't ready yet. we usually wait several weeks until new kernel enter unstable and 10 days more until it enter testing. LMDE UP didn't have regular period. next UP could be in next 3, 6 or 9 month later. at that time we might got 3.15.
