The fix of running all the kernel-post-install hooks on removal of a
linux-image-extra package causes another bug (#1440608) with the
autoremoval feature. Please see my comment on

Title:
  Removing linux-image-extra-X-generic deletes initramfs

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Situation: linux-image-X-generic and linux-image-extra-X-generic are
  both installed

  When you remove linux-image-extra-X-generic (e.g. switching from -generic to -virtual) /boot/initrd.img-X-generic is deleted in linux-image-extra-X-generic's postrm script.
  This results into broken boot. At least when / is on LVM etc.
