There is a way to check to see if one is needed. I can
submit a revised version of the script if you like. Would
you like me to do so?

postrm_hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
Doesn't this conflict with point 4 (a)?

No, we need something like this for squeeze.

I can maybe accept your proposal for Squeeze. But for Lenny, I believe
that the maintainer scripts should be changed back they way they

Great! What about Squeeze? It still supports creating the initial RAM

Doesn't it make sense to allow the historical boot loader code to work
as well?
