Check for hook scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d and
/etc/kernel/postrm.d that may not get purged when the yaird
package is purged.  That's where I would look first.
There's also /etc/kernel/preinst.d and /etc/kernel/prerm.d.
You should also check /etc/initramfs/post-update.d for hook
scripts, but I'd be surprised if yaird dropped anything in
there.
