I see that the status for Bionic is still _Fix Committed_ but not _Fix
Released_. Am I not understanding this well enough ?

@fmalfoy it was fixed with the 06-04 round of sru updates.
Does the new linux-base from proposed not resolve the reported
regressions for you?

Is something going to be done to fix the regressions reported for Bionic
and Focal ?

aha, my xx-update-initrd-links lost executable bit again. need to fix that up
in my packaging.
But also invalidates my previous test a bit.

Untested yet, but here is a proposed patch which hopefully will fix
installkernel in all link_in_boot modes, without regressing anything.

But we do call linux-update-symlinks in the maintainer scripts.
why doesn't installkernel call that, horum.

Title:
On a given system we can have the following symlinks
/vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-lowlatency
/vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic
/boot/vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-lowlatency
/boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic
which is controlled by /etc/kernel-img.conf setting
linux-update-symlinks install 4.15.0-144-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic => generates correct symlinks for
vmlinuz{.old} with both link_in_boot and without link_in_boot.
I am confused how come Debian kernels call linux-update-symlinks and
Ubuntu kernels (and upstream) do not.

Sure, I proposed the patch as a quick fix that would allow users to get
things running back again shortly. But if there are more academic ways
to workaround this, feel free to give me pointers.

I'm also not sure why that script exists at all in the current form.
I would have thought we could switch to linux package themselves to call
linux-update-symlinks like it is done in debian.
Or at least not reimplement the wheel and just call linux-update-
symlinks directly.
