Dear Maintainer,
in #919507 Debian Policy Manual was amended with a signal facility that a
reboot is required. For kernel images this signal had been in
unattended-upgrades and was kept there. This decision isn't suitable for
environments without the unattended-upgrades package. As this signal is
the result of each image install, the postinst scripts of image packages
seem the right place to implement this functionality:
diff --git a/debian/templates/image.postinst.in
b/debian/templates/image.postinst.in
index 25e7dd6..1c606ee 100755
