Public bug reported:
## Problem description
Executing the `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/xx-update-initrd-links` script
incorrectly detects symbolic links targets and then creates malformed
(hence broken) ones instead:
/initrd.img -> initrd.imgboot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-53-generic
/initrd.img.old -> initrd.imgboot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-53-generic
while it should actually be:
/initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-53-generic
/initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-5.3.0-53-generic
The problem appeared with the release of the version 4.5ubuntu1.5 of the
linux-base package, which made this script executable.
## Solution
A solution is proposed through the attached patch file.
