Don't you thihnk that the image postinst/rm are a trifle
overkill for this? I mean, one can go
% ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-X.X.XX /vmlinuz && lilo
and be done with it. ssh and sudo allows one to do this remotely.
% ssh machine1 ls -l /
lets one know what kernels are on what machine.
Are there significant gains by packaging the ln -s + lilo command?
