Bug#865301: linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64: /vmlinuz and /initrd.img not updated after custom kernel build and install

[Ricardo Fraile <rfraile@rfraile.eu>]

I'm checking that the last kernel from the repo [1] have the postinst different than the package done by the "make deb-pkg". I attached both.

I think that the file located under "linux-source-4.9/debian/tmp/DEBIAN/postinst" must have the logic for manage linux-update-symlinks like the original package from the repo do.

In this particular case, the symlinks are update using:

# linux-update-symlinks install 4.9.30id /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.30id
I: /vmlinuz.old is now a symlink to boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64
I: /initrd.img.old is now a symlink to boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-3-amd64
I: /vmlinuz is now a symlink to boot/vmlinuz-4.9.30id
I: /initrd.img is now a symlink to boot/initrd.img-4.9.30id

Thanks,

This is because the upstream Debian packaging doesn't (yet) run linux-
update-symlinks.
