Please affect that report to the real package; i've chosen linux by
default as i've no idea about the faulty one.

Doing some daily upgrades as usual, and have seen that curious error
while setting 'initramfs':

That ZZ installation indeed only has 4.10 kernels installed, and is
often checked for cleaning (autoremove/bleachbit). Packages are always
purged when removed.

So i wonder why and which process/script has left a crappy /boot/ list
of initrd.img-4.8* to produce the errors above.
