you need to have a valid kernerl-img.conf installed _before_ installing the
kernel, so a hook is needed if you install the kernel by the "normal" 
package_config stuff (which is IMO more transparent than the $addpackages 
mechanism used in the "simple" FAI example) because scripts/*/* is run
_after_ installing the packages. Our configuration works this way, and so
seems Holger's:
