To elaborate a bit, the reason why this affects users upgrading from
woody even if they haven't done anything strange to their system is that
if they attempt to upgrade to a sarge kernel-image first, the sarge
kernel-image packages depend on mkvmlinuz, which ships
/etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/mkvmlinuz scripts; thus, kernel-image tries
to run 'run-parts -v' without them doing anything funny to their system,
and without an appropriate versioned dependency on debianutils being
declared.
s/-v/--verbose/g certainly seems like the simplest fix.
