FYI this was a fairly straight forward theft of the code from update-
initramfs to do the same and I tested by removing several old kernels
and seeing that it only ran update-grub once, then installing ( and
reinstalling ) a new kernel and seeing that it still ran once.  Also
manual invocation of update-grub still works.

Bug description:
  Currently the kernel package runs update-grub every time one is
  installed or removed.  This results in it being run a dozen times
  during a dist-upgrade, and this is rather time consuming and annoying.
  Please use a dpkg trigger to cause update-grub to be run only once.
