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.
