SOLUTION:

The problem occurs when updating a subversion of the same kernel version.

e.g. linux-image-2.6.24-19.33 -> linux-image-2.6.24-19.41

if the old package is removed/purged first the upgrade package installs fine it does. it still fails to create the hard link but dpkg does not bail out.

also select "package maintainers version" when it offers to update 'menu.lst'

finally, in case there is a problem -- make sure you have an older version installed as a backup (e.g., linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic)
