OK. All that it does is to set manipulate the environment

That is not the same as the example from kernel-package or
linux-image; these are scripts from initramfs-tools, that do not work
with kernel-package kernels, apparently intentionally be the

You need to place in in these directories scripts you want,
which take the actions you want. kernel-package has some examples to
get you started.

So, there are no files on disk, though the metadata still
exists. So either a previous remove command failed, or an install
command failed.

Can you list what is in /lib/modules/2.6.27?
