Will the "mkvmlinuz" invocation later in the postinst ever possibly
produce output on stdout?
While I can see the intent behind the above (forcing "run-parts
--report" to output the script name to stderr rather than stdout), it
wasn't immediately obvious. The kernel handbook (in
https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html ),
suggests "exec </dev/null >&2", which seems much more idiomatic.

Adam
