Package: linux-image-2.6.21-2-686
Version: 2.6.21-5
Severity: wishlist

User notes every time he removes a kernel, he sees messages about
broken links being fixed, which now point to the latest kernel in
/boot.

I wish that that message would mention what to dpkg-reconfigure to
change such behaviours.

User notes that every time he installs a new kernel, those links
aren't updated... only when removing kernels.

User wonders how to adjust things, notices
$ dlocate /etc/kernel-img.conf
$
doesn't belong to any package or note where it is documented or who to
complain to about problems in it. It even looks funny, (do not/do:)
$ cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
# Do not create symbolic links in /
do_symlinks = Yes
do_initrd = Yes

(I use my lilo.conf.conf,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=429038 )

The kernel-img.conf file is documented in kernel-package.  This should
have been noted in e.g. README.Debian for image packages.  However, it
is no longer required and will not be created in fresh installations, so
I do not see the point in doing that now.
