This used to fend off the automatic updating of the bootloader
# cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
do_symlinks = no
do_bootloader = no
silent_modules = yes
warn_initrd = no
I don't think that is still working since [1] says:
Most of those tasks are offloaded to hook scripts in the
/etc/kernel/*.d/ directories. For instance, the integration
with grub relies on /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub
and /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub to call update-grub
when kernels are installed or removed.
so have a look into your /etc/kernel/ directories to find a way to
disable automatic updating of the bootloader.
