[...] As of yet kernel-package is still used in the official kernel builds[1], by using make-kpkg to build and create the linux-image packages (linux-headers is assembled manually). linux-2.6/debian/rules.real [...] kpkg_image := $(setup_env) ifdef DEBIAN_KERNEL_JOBS kpkg_image += CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=$(DEBIAN_KERNEL_JOBS) endif kpkg_image += make-kpkg --arch '$(firstword $(KPKG_ARCH) $(ARCH))' --cross-compile=- --stem linux --config silentoldconfig ifneq ($(INITRAMFS),False) kpkg_image += --initrd endif ifdef KPKG_SUBARCH kpkg_image += --subarch '$(KPKG_SUBARCH)' endif [...] Which is called from the following targets: $(STAMPS_DIR)/setup_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR)_kernel-package: [...]$(kpkg_image) configure [...] $(STAMPS_DIR)/build_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR)_kernel-package: [...]$(kpkg_image) build [...] install-image_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET)_$(FLAVOUR)_kernel-package: [...]$(kpkg_image) kernel-image [...] Due to this, the bootloader setup relies on postinst_hook/ postrm_hook and do_initrd in /etc/kernel-img.conf and honours the rest of the settings.
