The symlink from uImage-3... to uImage is not created at image creation
time and not properly update on kernel upgrades. This is fixed by removing
the chdir. The other users of update-alternative do not change the directory
before calling it.

Hi,

this patch has not been merged, nor has it received any comments. The symlink
creation for uImage is broken right now and I would be very happy if it could
be fixed.
