This was due to a small mistake from Aurelien Gerome, who is helping with the
mkvmlinuz package. The situation should be cleared in mkvmlinuz 32, which i
will upload now. Going back to mkvmlinuz 29 should work around the issue.

addnote is a chrp thingy, which was erroneously required for prep
installations, while mkprep is enough fro you.
