Bug Description
On shipped Maverick systems /etc/kernel/
Adding a simple script
#!/bin/sh
flash-kernel $1
As "/etc/kernel/
The current hack solution is to name the script "xflash-kernel"
Like udev scripts it would be better if they were numbered so they executed in the correct order.

To clarify, the bug affects anything that is going to put a hook into any /etc/kernel/*.d directory.
Scripts should be numbered with an explicit order of operation so that for instance initramfs-tools is run before flash-kernel, or grub, without naming scripts zz-update-grub.
