What is the long term goal? Do you plan do to get rid of kernel-img.conf
and let the individual boot loader handle this kind of things?
You are changing the default behavior of palo here. However the values
are written very late. link_in_boot for instance is only evalueted at
the begin of the script. So it should not really matter for postinst at
least.
The do_symlink thing is only required by people that don't have their
setup right, isn't it? So grub refers to /vmlinuz but kernel itself is
not in / but in /boot. So if those people would fix their boxes we could
get rid of do_symlink for instance right?
