Testing again, but without initramfs-tools installed, and with kernel-img.conf set to do_initrd = yes and link_in_boot = no

End result is this:

# ls -l /vmlinu* /initrd.img* /boot/initrd.img*
ls: cannot access '/boot/initrd.img*': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 May 28 10:30 /initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-5.13.0-051300rc3daily20210526-generic

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 May 28 10:30 /vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-16-lowlatency

initrd.img symlink from / is a dangling one.
/vmlinuz* are correctly updated.
initrd.img.old is not existant.

This confirms that the revised postin.d snippet is working correctly and it doesn't matter if it is ordered before or after generating initrd.
