the k-p legacy code seems to assume that bootloaders have
no initrd/initramfs support:
http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64_2.6.30-3.log
i propose to nuke that hole section,
as any recent (e)lilo.conf has an initrd support.
also any recent bootloader must just support initrd/initramfs.
as bonus linux-2.6 images are easily installed in chroots
without stupid do_initrd set in /etc/kernel-img.conf
also gets rid of 4 ambigous debconf templates.
