Title:
  update-initrd-links creates incorrect symlinks

Status in linux-base package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux-base source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ## Problem description

  Executing the `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/xx-update-initrd-links` script
  incorrectly detects symbolic links targets and then creates malformed
  (hence broken) ones instead:

  /initrd.img -> initrd.imgboot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-53-generic
  /initrd.img.old -> initrd.imgboot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-53-generic

  while it should actually be:

  /initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-53-generic
  /initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-53-generic

  The problem appeared with the release of the version 4.5ubuntu1.5 of
  the linux-base package, which made this script executable.

  ## Solution

  A solution is proposed through the attached patch file.
