Hi,
I think this fixes all issues that had been reported to
me. 10.006 should head out to Sid tonight, or tomorrow.

kernel-package (10.005) experimental; urgency=low
* Bug fix: "kernel/image.postinst should mention GRUB", thanks to
Martin Michlmayr. Well, I don't see why we should mention _any_ boot
loader at all, so we are no longer biased against grub. (Closes: #336927)
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Using dpkg --remove followed by dpkg
--install does not restore the kernel package", thanks to Daniel
Jacobowitz. Also: "kernel-package tells me we're being reinstalled AND
updated". Actually, the installed/updated is just sematics; when you
reinstall a kernel image you are updating it, and vice versa. The
actual problem was that while the symbolic links were removed when the
package was removed, dpkg passed the last-version-configured to the
postinst, and we took that as evidence that the package had been
installed before -- which, while true, did not take into account that
the package was currently uninstalled. The fix is to always see if a
missing symlink needs to be installed, and not touch existing
symlinks. (Closes: #336733, #336517).
* Added kernel/pkg/headers/create_link as an example. The user can install
it in the postinst.d directory to set up the /lib/modules/foo/build
symlink to point to the kernel-headers. This is not needed, since the
kernel-image postinst already checks in the /usr/src/ directory for an
installed kernel headers package.
* Convert the image prerm scripts to debconf as well, the questions are
asked if we try to remove the running kernel image, or if we are
removing a kernel version mentioned in boot loader configuration.
* Have the minimal.mk not overwrite the control or the changelog file.
* Added a whole slew of config files, and updated older ones, to bring
the configurations offered up by default to be more in line with
official kernels.
* Fixed substitutions in the kernel image package, there was a duplicate
=B substitution.
* Ran lintian on all the generated packages. Fixed FSF address in all
the copyright notices, and fixed case in the templates file as
well. This shall be the last experimental release, barring major
problems.
