After thinking about this some more and actually trying to implement the
hook scripts, I think I agree.  These symlinks are horrible and by
default we should not create them.  As a stopgap, boot loader packages
may create and then use the links, but I would much prefer that they
construct a menu of all installed kernel versions, as GRUB and extlinux
do.
