[Bug 52679] Re: Linux upgrade doesn't update symlinks used by yaboot

[Colin Watson]

Matt: link_in_boot defaults to no on i386, so I'm not sure where you got
your result from ...

Brian: In installs from the alternate install CD, the initial /etc
/kernel-img.conf is written by the base-installer component of the
installer; it won't be owned by any package, as you observe.

However, I've just checked and it seems that the live filesystem build
script does not match the behaviour of base-installer; they default
link_in_boot to no regardless of the architecture. Either ubiquity
should fix this up, or the live filesystem build script should be fixed.

** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Untriaged
       Status: Unconfirmed

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
       Target: None => dapper-updates
