It doesn't need to, since initscripts, which is required by kernel
packages, does (previously initscripts provided the functionality). It
shouldn't be necessary to PreReq it either, since it doesn't need to
install bootloader entries before a kernel is installed (DrakX does it,
and all packages required by kernel/basesystem etc should be installed
before DrakX tries to use the scripts).

The only reason it does not get installed now is that the requirement
can be (incorrectly) satisfied by ksymoops.

But it's not a kernel bug ...
