no it is not the opposite.
the hook should *not* be run for linux-images out of linux-2.6
they take care to run update-initramfs in their postinst.
those are the official and supported linux images in Debian.
homegrown kernel-package build are on their own.
but of course in the interest of cooperation this hooks exist also for
them. user need to made clear that the easy Debian way of building a
linux-image is to unpack a recent linux-2.6 tarball and run
make deb-pkg

no aboves sentence is wrong (see above) and much too long.
