Package: linux-base Version: 4.5 Tags: patch I wanted to get rid of the /vmlinuz and /initrd symlinks. It took me a while to find out that they are managed by linux-update-symlinks, and then a trivial but crucial typo in the manpage did cost me even more time to figure out that the parameter I needed to set is called do_symlinks rather than no_symlinks. Patch attached.
