Unfortunately, I have to disagree here:

This kernel image was built using kernel-package 10.029 on a current
unstable system.

In this case:
$ sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.15-darren.postinst configure
Running depmod.
Running postinst hook /sbin/update-grub.
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
$ echo $?
0
$

This obviously has solved the issue this time. I have had this
behavior on different hosts, but do not yet exactly know how to
reproduce the issue.

Greetings
