DESCRPTION
linux-run-hooks is intended to be called from the maintainer
scripts of Linux kernel image and headers packages. It uses the
run-parts command to execute hooks installed in the appropriate
subdirectories of /etc/kernel and /usr/share/kernel.
The first argument is the package type; either image or
headers.
The MAINT-SCRIPT argument must be the name of the maintainer
script: preinst, postinst, prerm, or postrm.
The KERNEL-VER argument must be the kernel version string as
shown by uname -r and used in filenames, not the package
version.
The IMAGE-PATH argument must be the absolute filename of the
kernel image.
The MAINT-PARAMS arguments must be the parameters received by
the maintainer script.
