update-grub is call indirectly by the linux-image postinst, by way of
the hooks in /etc/kernel-img.conf. These hooks are neither configured
by nor maintained by the linux-image packages.

/sbin/update-grub is marked as deprecated even in the 'grub' package
(there's a NEWS.Debian file to warn users), so I suspect the answer is
that users need to manually update their kernel-img.conf files. But,
I'll reassign to grub-pc in case its maintainers have anything else
to add.
