Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.015
Severity: minor

The debconf template for shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader
talks nonsense about grub being installed and a postinst hook
being present, even though the script (postinst) that invokes this
template no longer tests for those conditions to be true before
asking the question.

Thus according to the code, the question is simply asked if the
default boot loader is selected and "do_bootloader" is not
explicitly set in kernel-img.conf (assuming my other bug report
today is fixed).  But according to the text of the debconf
template, the question would only be asked if in addition to those
conditions, grub was installed and a postinst hook was present.

I suggest changing the text of the template to match reality.
