Currently the zipl setup as done by debian-installer uses a fixed config
file and relys on symlinks /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img.  The
kernel team intends to remove support for those symlinks in the near
future.

We need to find another way to handle those, like creating BLS files,
also for grub.  I try to see how we can do that.
