No cruft on the many systems where it is not needed at all.

Again, we have reached a point where further discussion is fruitless.
The question whether mkvmlinuz is Depends or Recommends or Suggests is
secondary.  First, it has to be integrated properly into the
kernel-image postinst, the postinst_hook is only a temporary solution
after all.  Since Manoj wrote that postinst and you have the hardware
to test it, the two of you should sort this out.  If you come up with
a patch that Manoj doesn't want to merge, send it to me and I'll put
it into the official kernel-image packages.

Regards, Jens.
