Bug description:
  From a working Quantal installation on a Highbank node, I ran into a
  couple of issues:

  1) linux-image-generic is not installed by default (though linux-image-highbank is removed) 
  2) after an `apt-get-install linux-image-generic` the flash-kernel run-parts routine complains about generic not being a supported flavour for highbank systems.

  I temporarily fixed this by manually updating /usr/share/flash-
  kernel/db/all.db

  ... though I suppose multiple entries for "Kernel-Flavor:" would work
  as well

  After this, I re-ran the kernel's postinst.d:

  $ sudo run-parts /etc/kernel/postinst.d/
  W: initramfs-tools: kernel package did not pass a version number
  run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d//initramfs-tools exited with return code 2

  I'm now able to boot 3.8.0-16.26-generic (3.8.5) after upgrade without
  any issues.
