That logic is not present in the -trunk kernels currently present in
testing.  But relief is in sight.  Good.  Someday they will migrate
from unstable to testing.  Let's hope testing doesn't freeze first!

The symlink_hook script originally shipped as a sample script in
kernel-package, and I modified it.  But the original was a postinst hook,
not a postrm hook.  So it's "mine" on two counts: I modified it from the
original, and I installed it in /etc/kernel/postrm.d as well as in
/etc/kernel/postinst.d.  zipl (the boot loader itself) is part of
s390-tools.

The moral of the story: if commands in your hook script
write to STDOUT, you may need to redirect output to STDERR or some
other place to avoid confusing debconf.  If you don't, it may cause
a mysterious error even if the hook script exits with a return status
of zero!
