I had to do the following:
sudo chmod -x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-common
This completes the installation of the custom kernel. However, the
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common is still there. So, I, reinstalled it
and then purged:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-common
After that, the file is gone.

it comes from nvidia-common (quite simple).
The weird thing is I didn't have that package installed.. so I installed
it (and it also flagged other modaliases for different nvidia driver
versions) ... then removed nvidia-common and the modaliases for the
versions I didn't need (I must use 173.x as I have legacy nvidia
hardware).
That should remove the nvidia-common script in /etc/kernel/postinst.d
(could also remove it manually or what I did early on to work-around:
chmod -x nvidia-common to disable it from running).
Make sure you have nvidia-common package installed (--reinstalled) if
you need it or removed properly if not using it.
That seems to fix it for me. I suspect there is an issue with properly
installed/removing that package. If you are still having problems and
you reinstalled the package... try removing execute permissions from
that script before installing your custom kernel via the .deb method!
