>>as Debian also includes a pae flags check in the 686 kernel package

>the pae flags check is in the x86 bootcode of the kernel and apparently
it depends on the bootloader if it`s being executed or not.

I meant the check in the linux-image-* package preinst, the check
prevents the package from being installed on systems where pae is not in
cpu flags. I thought that Debian had the same check, but in fact it
doesn't now -  either I remembered incorrectly or the check was removed
at some point.
