For me "Message-ID: <[🔎] 20070402094719.GA31943@oberon.enough>" indicates, that 
this is the case.

The bug hit me, when updating from 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 to 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12. The 
system was updated from sarge to etch ~ 1 week ago. Maybe anything there went 
wrong, with 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11?

# aptitude remove linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
[...]
# ls -la / | grep initrd.img
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     31 2006-07-05 14:20 initrd.img.old -> 
boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-3-686-smp
# ls -la / | grep vmlinuz
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     28 2006-07-05 14:20 vmlinuz.old -> 
boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-686-smp

So I'm at the same point, where installation/upgrade of 
linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 worked ('"rm /initrd.img /vmlinuz" fixed it for me, 
but it seems no general solution.').

So I guess I can't provide more/better/deeper informations.

With kind regards, Jan.
