	I see. Yes, I guess the post-inst file maybe modified on the
 fly by make-kpkg to have the location of the desired destination; and
 then the postinst may mv /boot/* to the final location. 

	Hmm. I shall have to see if this can indeed be inserted into
 the postinst (which already does a number of things, and has,
 unfortunately, evolved to the current complexity)

	I'll see what I can do.
