This magic is what the distro "/usr/sbin/installkernel" script is
supposed to do, which the kernel Makefile does for the "install"
target.
So the "make install" *should* have done the grub and initramfs
update. Ubuntu screwed up (probably because Debian did).
I wish they'd just fix it. The whole reason the kernel does that
/usr/sbin/installkernel thing is so that distributions can do whatever
magic it is they want to do for themselves.
