Perhaps it would be a good idea to move the kernel-image postinst code
into a separate utility, e.g. `update-boot-kernel', which the postinst
would then invoke.
In your case, you could then disable the postinst boot frobbing using
/etc/kernel-img.conf, but then when you really *did* want to change
which kernel was being booted, you (or your shell-script) could just run
`update-boot-kernel', which would do all that nice stuff for you.
