    linux-run-hooks: Use compatible hook dir names for headers packages
    
    See merge request kernel-team/linux-base!19

commit 66bad13f4f652d8526128a0b9d705a89cd79bdb5
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Nov 27 12:35:17 2025 +0100

    linux-run-hooks: Use compatible hook dir names for headers packages
    
    The hook directory for headers postinst hooks was originally
    /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.  When reimplementing hook invocation in
    linux-run-hooks, I accidentally made the directory names for headers
    packages start with 'headers' and not 'header', so no existing hook
    scripts are detected.
    
    Reorganise the handling of package types so we specifically handle
    'headers' and convert it to a prefix of 'header_'.
    
    Closes: #1121366

commit 1c164af2995abd9768a5506a4f07d5fff0979918
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Nov 27 12:02:15 2025 +0100

    linux-run-hooks(1): Fix description of the first argument
    
    The description of the first argument here is based on an earlier
    unreleased version of linux-run-hooks where it was used directly to
    build the directory name.  Change it to reflect the split into
    separate package-type and script-type arguments.

    postinst hook: Use reboot-required to flag required reboot
    
    Install a post installation hook to touch the /run/reboot-required file
    to indicate a reboot is required when updating the Linux kernel images.
    Also add information about the package requesting the reboot to the
    /run/reboot-required.pkgs file if run from a packaged kernel (both
    Debian or upstream via make deb-pkg).
