I would like to report an issue I faced due to this. Not an issue for

Even so, I would prefer if you made this bug report on
bugs.archlinux.org.
I did not create a bug report because I was not sure if this falls under
bug or not. Because this is a design change and my issue is possibly the
anticipated side effect.
I know my issue is not common and I will also change my script to
post transaction hook.
But this is to warn anyone who has a custom package with post install
script which looks for / expects kernel files in /boot. (like
grub-mkconfig). Those scripts are going to break with the recent
changes to kernel package and it would be advisable to put them in
post transaction hook and that too after mkinitcpio-install scripts run.
I've purposefully made the mkinitcpio hook to have the same precedence
number
as the old hook had: 90-mkinitcpio-install.hook. Specifically so
people relying
on things ran after the kernel was installed could do so.
I am not sure but I feel that install hook should now have higher
priority so that kernel is copied back to /boot as early as possible
instead of after most of the hooks. i.e. say after systemd hooks, may be
renamed to 40-mkinitcpio-install.hook?
Thanks a lot for all your replies

Amish.
