[Bug 184852] Re: "dpkg-reconfigure --all" invokes update-initramfs(8) multiple times

[Daniel Richard G.]

Bug persists in Hardy.

In an ubuntu-minimal install, "dpkg-reconfigure --all" invokes update-
initramfs(8) six times, with the first three instances seemingly
occurring one right after the other.
