Fair enough, I can do that much:

Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp ...
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp (2.6.8-10) ...

[ snip usual warning ]
 that too much. You need to reboot soon.

Please Hit return to continue.
Not touching initrd symlinks since we are being reinstalled (2.6.8-10)
Not updating image symbolic links since we are being updated (2.6.8-10)

Looks fixed to me.

Thanks for the good work as always,
