Comment 13 for bug 1337538

I dont understand your last point; I dont know how flash-kernel got pulled/called in the specific use case of this bug. This is what needs to be fixed to fit with the current approach: flash-kernel should not be installed since you dont really want the boot stuff to be installed, or if it is indeed needed then other packages ought to be pulled at the same time.

flash-kernel should only get called by matters of initramfs scripts or /etc/ bootloader setup scripts both shipped by the flash-kernel package itself.
