Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.119
Severity: normal

when using 
mkimage = "do_initrd.sh %s %s > /dev/null"
in /etc/kernel-img.conf

kernel will not install showing an error.

parser in scripts generated with kernel-package is using \S as an option
parameter so mkimage after parsing gives following command:

mkinitrd -m "do_initrd.sh -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8.new /lib/modules/2.6.8

I will not give any patch as I seen few mkimage parsers in pre and post
kernel-image scripts and I am not sure which one is breaking kernel
installation.

I think that using make-kpkg --mkimage 'do_initrd.sh %s %s > /dev/null'
works well as I was using it earlier and have seen no problems.
