Bug#1081754: systemd: "kernel-install add-all" fails due to Debian not having vmlinuz where it expects

[Russell Coker]

Package: systemd
Version: 256.6-1
Severity: normal

# kernel-install add-all
Not adding version '6.10.9-amd64', because kernel image not found.
Not adding version '6.9.10-amd64', because kernel image not found.
No kernels to install found.

The above is what happens in a typical Debian system, what I expect is that it
will just find the kernels and install them.

When I created symlinks from /lib/modules/6.9.10-amd64/vmlinuz to
/boot/vmlinuz-6.9.10-amd64 and from /lib/modules/6.10.9-amd64/vmlinuz to
/boot/vmlinuz-6.10.9-amd64 it worked as desired.

One could argue that this is a bug in the Debian kernel packages for not having
such a symlink.  But I think that the current situation with kernel packages is
adequate and systemd in Debian should be patched to work with it.
