Ah-ah!  Time for me to read the documentation.  Or to buy
more hardware... ;-)

/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.29-2-686.postinst explicitly calls:
   system("$ramdisk_cmd " . ($mkimage ? "-m '$mkimage' " : "") .
          "-c -t -k $version >&2");

while the postinst for 2.6.26-2686 used:
   system("$ramdisk_cmd " . ($mkimage ? "-m '$mkimage' " : "") .
                     "-o $initrd_path.new $modules_base/$version");

which was ok.

There's something rotten, and it's probably me. <g>


Thanks for the help,
