It seems the problem with this bug is that when you use grub, grub
writes some things to STDOUT, which of course with the recent changes in
make-kpkg, isn't allowed. The simple fix is to do this in the postinst
for the kernel:
< system ("$postinst_hook $version $realimageloc$kimage-$version") &&
> system ("$postinst_hook $version $realimageloc$kimage-$version 1>&2") &&
That way whatever the postinst hook script does, it won't write to
stdout.
This made it install properly on my system. Without it, update-grub is
terminated partway through its run, which is not a good thing.
