I keep them installed and never had any problem. As everything is in home 
directory, the new version can still use the application.

You usually don't need to reflash anything.

For the modules, they are in package qtmoko-kernel-modules:
neo:~# dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc3-v21/kernel/block/cfq-iosched.ko
qtmoko-kernel-modules: /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc3-v21/kernel/block/cfq-iosched.ko

For the kernel, you have the package qtmoko-kernel-image which contain the file 
/boot/uImage.bin. 
If you installed to the nand, you also need to install the package
qtmoko-kernel-nand. It will flash the newly installed kernel directly from the 
phone (dd if=/boot/uImage.bin of=/dev/mtdblock3).
