Hmmm. Yes, forgot about the symlink.

I have two objections to using the symlink though.
- If we install GRUB automatically we also refer to the real name.
- If I build my own kernel with 'make-kpkg' and install the resulting deb,
  the symlink will be completely broken (deleted even), which would make
  a boot into the old kernel difficult.
  On the other hand, if you manually configured your bootloader, you will
  have to set things up manually for the new kernel anyway.

Let's think this over again after RC2; no hurry.
