Public bug reported:

raring armv7l
lxc 0.9.0~rc1-0ubuntu1
flash-kernel 3.0~rc.4ubuntu29

After installation of an armhf lxc guest on an armv7l host, update-initramfs will fail with the following error (bug 1160360):
=====
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-14-generic
flash-kernel: installing version 3.8.0-14-generic
Generating kernel u-boot image... /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: 214: /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: mkimage: not found

dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):

flash-kernel uses mkimage from u-boot-tools but only suggests this
package.
