Bug#344511: Please create a backup of the old kernel+initrd image when updating

[Christian Hammers <ch@debian.org>]

Package: kernel
Severity: wishlist

Hello

I noticed while upgrading my kernel-image packages to the latest update
that no backups of the old image are made.

At least for something as critical as kernels it would be nice to have 
a /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686.old and /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686.old.

bye,
