It's a change happened in 12.001, and sid now has 12.013:
kernel-package (12.001) experimental; urgency=low
[..]
* Image postinst no longer runs a boot loader
Note that this was already the case for grub, one of the more popular
boot loaders.
Now that we have a mechanism for running arbitrary scripts when the
image packages are manipulated, we can stop embedding the boot loader
actions in the package itself. This means that lilo, elilo, etc will
no longer be run directly by the post isnt, and all the code related
to detecting the boot loader, managing the configuration, and adding
bits about bootloader documentation is all removed from the
postinst. This allows the image package to be more flexible, since the
end user is no longer restricted to the actions encoded in the image
package. This is a fairly large change.
[..]
* The image postinst no longer runs the initramfs creation
commands. Instead, there are example scripts provided that will
perform the task. These scripts will work for official kernel images
as well.
