Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.135
Severity: wishlist

I think that kernel-image packages should use alternatives features for
symlinks handling: vmlinux, vmlinux.old, initrd, initrd.old
instead of manually altering these links.

it would be much easier to use update-alternative instead of current
mechanism when removing/installing few versions of kernel-image.

I should have some time in February to try to do it myself.
if so I will be able to add patch to this report.

greetings for a New Year.
