Package: kernel
Severity: serious
Justification: FHS

I will clone this bug for make-kpkg to fix up the default in
/etc/kernel-img.conf.

The symlinks to kernel and initrd should live in /boot, not in /.
The FHS does not allow them to live in /, and I don't see a single
reason why they need to be there.

We may have to keep two versions around for a while until the
bootloaders have grokked it. However, setting $link_in_boot
appropriately should allow them to deal.

Almost 10 years later, that's still true, so I'll close this bug report
for now. Really not keen on spending time on this, especially given the
high risks of breaking virtually everything. :)
