The images are supposed to define a break-relation with the affected
bootloaders. Not sure why this missed.

 Package: release-notes
 Severity: normal
 
 Hi,
 
 I just tried to upgrade a system following the release notes to the
 letter.  This means doing first apt-get upgrade, then installing a new
 kernel and udev, reboot, then doing a full dist-upgrade.
 
 After reboot only the *old* kernel was present in the grub menu, not the
 new one.  grub2 (to replace the installed grub1) was only installed
 *after* the reboot during the dist-upgrade.  (So I did upgrade, install
 linux and udev, reboot, update-grub, reboot, dist-upgrade instead.)
 
 After the installation of grub2 I properly get a hook in
 /etc/kernel/postinst.d to call update-grub.  Is it possible that you
 should either update grub2 more early in the process or run update-grub
 manually after the kernel installation and before the reboot?
 
 It's not entirely clear to me how it's supposed to happen or if it's
 just user error in the configuration files of the Lenny installation
 that was upgraded.
 
waldi says the kernel should break pre-policy versions of bootloader
packages, and apparently grub was missed.

Cheers,
Julien

 It wasn't.  update-grub has never been called explicitly from the
 linux-image maintainer scripts.  Instead, debian-installer used to set
 postinst_hook and postrm_hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf if the user chose
 to install GRUB.

It is broken. Someone have to fix it up. Please show how.

Backport grub2 r2157 and grub-legacy r811 (and subsequent fixups) to
lenny.
