Not sure how good it works though. Could you maybe test that?

Yep, that package got me "installkernel" and it does all the installation as expected. I only needed to change the symlink of "/boot/<initrd|vmlinuz>" to point to the new ones created by it.

kernel-install is normally meant to copy the image over to /boot/ as
well afaik; maybe it did not do that in your case because you already
had placed it there manually?

kernel-install doesn't do that in my testing, it also doesn't remove anything AFAICT. 🧐

Kind regards,
