Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92e
Severity: minor
Today i've changed "update_initramfs" variable from "yes" to "all".
The update-initramfs scripts seems to look at the contents of the
directory "/var/lib/initramfs-tools/" to know for what image to update
(it contain MD5 files, one for every initramfs created in this system).
The problem is that nobody seems to care of cleaning that directory
after a kernel removal, so it is full of obsolete files, that makes
update-initramfs a bit noisy. On my system:
# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-686

In fact i've only the first two kernel installed.
Maybe when a kernel get purged, the removal scripts should clean its
files under /var.

Cesare.
