Subject: mkvmlinuz should bail if it can't find addnote
Package: mkvmlinuz
Version: 23

A user from Ubuntu reported a bug in mkvmlinuz's failure reporting.

mkvmlinuz terminates silently when the object dir can't be found and verbose 
mode is not set. It shouild bail and tell the user that the vmlinuz image 
could not be created.

For example:
$ mkvmlinuz -d asd

Terminated with no output while

$ mkvmlinuz -d asd -v

Description: 
 mkvmlinuz  - create a kernel to boot a PowerPC machine from Open Firmware
Closes: 374185 381787 401384
Changes: 
 mkvmlinuz (30) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fix arithmetic syntax error. (Closes: #374185)
   * Add myself to the Uploaders field.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.2.
   * Fix some expressions in long description.
   * Fix lintian errors and warnings.
     + Add po-debconf to the Build-Depends field.
     + Depend explicitly on bash (>= 3) to avoid a simple dependency
       on an essential package.
     + Add dh_strip in debian/rules, because a binary was left
       unstripped.
     + Remove debian/conffiles as debhelper (>= 4) adds conffiles
       under /etc automatically.
     + Add the #DEBHELPER# token to debian/postinst.
     + Move debian/kernel-image.postinst to debian/kernel-image/postinst
       and debian/kernel-image.postrm to debian/kernel-image/postrm,
       because it prevents lintian from believing they are maintainer
       scripts for the packaging system.
     + Add debian/lintian.overrides for debconf-is-not-a-registry,
       because we need a debconf setting from mkvmlinuz in kernel
       scripts.
   * Fix silent failure by adding some checks. (Closes: #381787)
   * Add the XS-Vcs-Svn field.
   * Add Portuguese translation thanks to Rui Branco. (Closes: #401384)
   * Add debugging symbols during build process.
