I think this script runs update-grub after every remove of kernel: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub. Would it be possible to use an environment variable that makes it possible to skip that post- installation script, and run update-grub manually after last removal, if wanted?

Since you generally call this command only when your boot volume is full of old kernels, it seems sub-optimal to regenerate the initrd eight times when removing eight kernels. Could something be done with triggers to do a single regeneration of the initrd at the end?
