Generally, not all Debian supported architectures (can) use grub (or can be considered "modern"), and on many of those systems, the way the new installkernel works not only breaks without good reasons the file naming conventions that have worked well for a long time, but makes management of kernel images and their associated System.map and config files impractical. Please revert or otherwise fix installkernel, perhaps using the patch proposed in comment #10 [3].
