The relevant (perl) code in the kernel postinst is:

    symlink($Old . "$link_name", $src_dir . "$link_name") ||
      die("Failed to symbolic-link " . $dest_dir . "$link_name to " . $src_dir
          . "$link_name .\n");
    warn "ln -s " . $Old . "$link_name " . $src_dir . "$link_name" if $DEBUG;

Unfortunately, it fails to include the error message ("$!"), so it would
be very difficult to figure out what went wrong at this point.
