this line was added in a special debian installer beta for Etch.
it was quickly repaired to not been added.
the trouble is that /etc/kernel-img.conf is not owned by any package
so we are not allowed to modify it.

As aboves failure never slipped in a real realease
it is a bit unfortunate for the users of that specific debian installer
release.
