The scripts included in kernel-package (postinst script for adding the
new kernel to the menu, postrm script to remove it from the menu and a
config file) handle symlinks properly so the default menu entry can
launch the last installed kernel. This scripts are based on
kernel_grub_conf.sh by Junichi Uekawa <dancer@debian.org> and work
perfect on my system with the following kernel-package configuration:

,----
| $ cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
| link_in_boot = yes
| do_symlinks = yes
| no_symlinks = no
| relative_links = yes
| reverse_symlink = no
| do_boot_enable =  yes
| do_bootfloppy = no
| do_bootloader = no
|
| postinst_hook = /usr/local/sbin/kernel_grub_conf.sh
| postrm_hook = /usr/local/sbin/kernel_grub_rm.sh
