For me the installkernel script (including in the current case "sudo
make install" from a mainline Linux tree) doesn't update the
/boot/initrd.img symlink.

Interestingly a package upgrade for linux-generic does overwrite this
symlink.

Not with the /etc/kernel-img.conf[0] and not without it either.
As before the /boot/vmlinuz link is always updated.

do_symlinks = yes
do_bootloader = yes
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = yes
