Title:
  update-initramfs should update all initrds

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Packages like dmraid, evms, udev and usplash call update-initramfs in
  their .postinst scripts with the -u option only. Therefore only the
  current or latest initrd is updated, and none of the others that the
  user might has installed.

  This should maybe be fixed in all the individual packages to use "-k
  all". (BTW the usage hint in update-initramfs says "ALL" with
  capitals, whilst the scripts checks for "all".)

  A useful side-effect of the current behaviour is that the other
  initrds are kept as "backups" in case the newly created initrd does
  not work. However, other programs might depend on the new
  functionality in the new initrd.
