Bug#626217: Default /etc/kernel-img.conf should have do_symlinks=no; nothing needs those links now
Package: base-installer
Severity: normal
Now that the various bootloaders have hooks to handle kernel
installation, or otherwise automatically handle all kernels via their
actual paths, do_symlinks doesn't seem necessary anymore. Please
consider defaulting it to "no".
