[Bug 319893] Re: regenerates initrds for kernels pending removal

[maximilian attems]

update-initramfs is triggered these days, so should only run at the end and not multiple times anymore.
Thank you for the report.

Title:
  regenerates initrds for kernels pending removal

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  While adding/removing kernels through the package management system,
  update-initrd is called for EACH kernel module package, for both
  additions and removals. Depending on what is being done, this leads to
  the initrd's being updated repeatedly.

  This is especially irritating when removing a kernel - the module
  packages are uninstalled first, the initrd is regenerated (several
  times sometimes), and finally the kernel is removed (and the initrd
  that so much time was spent on... is deleted as well).

  Is it possible to have this script defer until the end of such
  processes? Is this even the responsibility of this package? Note that
  I've seen this behavior on nearly every debian-based distro, so this
  is probably an upstream change.
