Hi, regarding the initrd, you need to copy over to /etc/kernel/* the
relevant scripts from /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/*
(look for "initramfs" or "yaird" if you use it). It will save you the
mkinitramfs step.
Also have a look at
/usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/sample.kernel-img.conf to trigger
links creation and such.
