Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-686

When there is no grub on the system, at the end of the installation postinst
script fails:

Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/source
However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/source
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
The provided postinst hook script [/sbin/update-grub] could not be run.

In this case it would be better if the script gave a warning, that one should
manually update bootloader (lilo in my case). I am not sure if it is not a
kernel-package bug, because the same happens with my custom made linux-image.
