        That is by design. This is why they are "example" scripts :-)

        If the kernel image packages did copy the files over, they can't
 do it in the package, since then every image package would have to
 conflict (since each image package would have the same file in
 /etc/kernel), or each image would create it's own versioned script
 (making it a nightmare to change, or for the site admin to arrange not
 to have the script).

        Also, then the script would have to try to please all users,
 which is quite impossible, which results in bugs reports I have to deal
 with.
