Usage: $0 VERSION

This command is intended to be called from the prerm maintainer scripts
of Linux kernel packages.

The VERSION argument must be the kernel version string as shown by
'uname -r' and used in filenames.

If the currently running kernel matches VERSION, linux-check-removal
will normally prompt the user to confirm this potentially dangerous
action and will fail if the user chooses to abort.  However, if the
current environment is in a chroot or container, or if debconf
prompts are disabled, it will always succeed without prompting.
