On my properly configured (I hope) system in /boot there is a
"System.map" which is a symlink to "System.map-2.2.14", and "vmlinuz"
which is a symbolic link to "vmlinuz-2.2.14". I have a "vmlinuz" in
root, which is symlink to /boot/vmlinuz, but no symlink in root about
"System.map".
If you use "make-kpkg", the deb package created should take care of
all this when you install it.
