Matt: link_in_boot defaults to no on i386, so I'm not sure where you got your result from ...

Brian: In installs from the alternate install CD, the initial /etc/kernel-img.conf is written by the base-installer component of the installer; it won't be owned by any package, as you observe.

However, I've just checked and it seems that the live filesystem build script does not match the behaviour of base-installer; they default link_in_boot to no regardless of the architecture. Either ubiquity should fix this up, or the live filesystem build script should be fixed.
