I know the behavior I observe in my systems. I have not read the code.

This is not my experience with stock Debian kernels. I'm sure eg. my
last upgrade from linux-image-2.6.17-1-686_2.6.17-4 to 2.6.17-5, I was
asked no question, just got the "you have to reboot soon" note. And I
don't think I have anything in /etc/kernel-img.conf to disable the
question? (What's the option that disables it?)
