If the fix is the revision 96, it breaks things here.
Running rev. 99, trying to build an intrepid suite on amd64

Two problems during linux-server kernel installation :
1. lilo gets pulled in.
2. The postinst_hook script registered in do_kernel_img_conf fails (missing upgrade-grub).

The first problem is unrelated to u-v-b : Apt recently changed in Intrepid to install "Recommended" packages by default, so lilo gets pulled in.

The second problem is linked to the change in rev96. Moving the kernel-img.conf building (do_kernel_img_conf) before kernel installation (do_kernel_n_friends) results in kernel postinstall requiring a full grub, and he won't have it before do_bootloader...

I workaround-ed problem (2) by reverting the rev96 patch and problem (1) by passing --no-install-recommends to apt-get in do_kernel_n_friends...
