i have to disagree with this point. i do not have kernel-package installed on my system, but i have kernels installed which use /etc/kernel-img.conf, which was created by debian-installer. kernel-package is a helper utility to create kernel packages, not a package that you need installed on most systems, unless you need a custom kernel or are a kernel package maintainer. that said, i do agree that this probably shouldn't be in the postinst of the package :) live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
