dash's postinst is broken. Unsetting the variables has been used to fix it for some time, but it was done in the wrong place when kernel-installer was created. If you cd /var/lib/dpkg sed '/^# undoc/,/^$/d' kernel-installer.postinst >foo cp foo kernel-installer.postinst you can reproduce the problem.
