Anyone know a way to determine what makes the calls to unneeded, uninstalled
$BOOTLOADER, or a way to cause them to be skipped? The way I remember it,
without presence of /etc/kernel/install.d/*, kernel installation fails to
generate /boot/initramfs-<version>, thus why I found 20-grub.install somewhere
and placed it myself.
I'm not sure what $BOOTLOADER is. Is it a path to a program or something else?
If $BOOTLOADER is a program, then one way to do it _may_ be to set BOOTLOADER=`command -v true` or similar. The technique is used by Autotools when a program is missing but you want success anyway. For example, you want `make all` to succeed even though you are missing the tools to build the stuff in docs/ directory.
