Actually, with the 12.XX branch, you get to choose what happens
when the kernel image is installed, by dropping scripts into
/etc/kernel -- by default, no action is taken
For example, to create an initramfs, I did:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/yaird \
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/yaird \
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Or, alternately, you could do:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs \
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/
cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs \
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
To run grub, I have in /etc/kernel-img.conf:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook = update-grub
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But really, you can substitute your own scripts, or decide not
to use initrds (which is a sane option if you are building your own
kernels and thus might not have any modules at all).
