This is what it looks like (after reboot):

$ ls -l / |grep boot
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 May 12 16:53 boot
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    30 Apr  5 12:37 initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    26 Apr  5 12:37 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64
$ ls -l /boot

After reboot:
$ uname -v
