Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.142
The update-initramfs manpage documents -k all, and I know I used
that in Kubuntu hardy times several times, but it does not work
any longer, it just does nothing.
Calling without -k of course only updates the image for the current kernel.
Feel free to downgrade severity if needed.
