I am assuming you are not trolling, but merely do not know the
behaviour of the image preinst script.
The difference is that first, if kernel image is going to
overwrite something, it warns you: and does not proceed to change the
kernel modules on disk unless you say yes. This question is asked
unless the kernel modules have already been removed by the user, or
the user has explicitly turned off the warning in
/etc/kernel-img.conf.
Then, it send a note reminding the user to reboot.
So the kernel image does ask, and take action based on the
answer. Which is, I think, the desired behaviour here as well.
