--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, After updating the kernel (via aptitude), update-initramfs is called to generate a new initrd.img file: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae Symlink /initrd.img is also created, but it points to /boot/initrd.img-.. rather than to boot/initrd.img-.. This causes a problem when, e.g., lilo is run with the filesystem mounted at /foo, in which case /foo/initrd.img points to the wrong location.

This symlink isn't set up by initramfs-tools, hence closing report. > (The kernel is set up correctly: /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-..) In any case it is ugly. Tools should not rely on that symlink.
