The usage of cp -n that causes this is actually in /usr/share/initramfs-

  cp -n prints warning on stderr

  Triaged
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  With coreutils, cp -n will start printing a warning on stderr:

    cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in
  future; use --update=none instead

  See the debian bug for some more context: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058752

  This change may cause issues in other packages autopkgtest (given the
  stderr output) or elsewhere, so this bug is used to track such cases.
