After some testing, I merged your patch from earlier in this bug report:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/flash-kernel.git/commit/?id=3497b05cefe7f62a5c25f54c8350ea12a88d36b0

I added another compatibility symlink to handle both locations:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/flash-kernel.git/commit/?id=f39fc948bd0c5900cfbc408169e355a7ef0797b3


Should be in the next flash-kernel upload.


live well,
