The official Debian kernel packages, in addition to running the
scripts in /etc/kernel, also runs linux-update-symlinks via the
postinst script. This updates the /vmlinuz and /initrd.img (if it uses
an initramfs) symlinks to point to the newly installed kernel. This
update causes the builddeb script to do the same.

This version of the patch incorporates the feedback from Ben
Hutchings.

Well, partly.  You implemented detection of upgrades on the install
side, but not on the remove side.

In case of an upgrade, both the old version's prerm and postrm, and the
new version's preinst and postinst, will be run:

postrm should not run linux-update-symlinks if "$1" is "upgrade".

prerm should not run linux-check-removal if "$1" is "upgrade".

Also, you should mention use of linux-check-removal in the commit
message.
