Yeah, fine, and will we set this by default, or not ?

postinst_hook
Set this variable to a script to be executed during installation
after all the symbolic links are created, but before running the
bootloader or offering to create a floppy. This script shall be
called with two arguments, the first being the version of the
kernel image, and the second argument being the location of the
kernel image itself. Errors in the script shall produce a warn-
ing message, but shall be otherwise ignored. An example script
for grub users is present in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/
directory.
What part of that did i misunderstand ?
