it was after the dpkg-reconfigure. looking at the output of
dkpkg-reconfigure it looks like it cleaned up whatever was there
previously. ie. there isn't a directory for the previous kernel

yup, that's sounds right

no, because in that bug the build failed. in my case the build
succeeded but for the 2.6.28 kernel.
if I'd booted into 2.6.28 things would've been fine. but when 2.6.31
installed it became the default kernel.
is there a way for a new kernel install to trigger a rebuild or a
reconfigure of another package?
