A candidate fix is to pass the vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic (or whatever)
filename into the test_relative() function for the 'Test File'
parameter, when it's called for the non-existent initrd.img-* file,
since the vmlinuz is guaranteed to be present.

@Daniel -- that 'V' view bug should be reported against apport, that is
rather, sad.
I think you are saying that if the file already exists then the linking
code will emit a non-absolute link, if it is missing then an absolute
one. I think this is born out by my system which clearly has a
This actually occurs because test_relative() as used in the
really_move_link() call will fail as the destination file actually does
not exist, triggering a failure in that incantation. This also
highlights we are going to incorrectly indicate that the link is
dandling in the case of installing
