well your bug report gives _zero_ hints on how to reproduce the bug
nor any postinst sh -x output.
and it is beyond doubt that if it would be a general breakage other
peoples would already have noticed.
 
can you please purge the linux-image package, (you should still have
another one installed) and then install from fresh,
what happens then? if it breaks again we need the sh -x output of
postinst.
