Title:
initramfs-tools ignores the FRAMEBUFFER option

Bug description:
[Impact]
initramfs-tools would always include all "framebuffer" drivers/firmware
inside initramfs, which was making it ever more huge. In some systems with low
memory, that would even prevent systems to boot. kdump, for example, had an
impact.
[Test case]
Different systems on different arches were tested. When cryptsetup (or
cryptsetup-initramfs) was installed, framebuffer drivers were included in the
ramdisk. When not installed, the initramfs was smaller. Systems booted on both
cases. Systems with encrypted disks were tested as well.
[Regression Potential]
Systems may not boot because of missing drivers. Users may have a different
experience during boot because of missing "framebuffer" drivers.
==================
initramfs-tools ignores the FRAMEBUFFER option. This means that the
framebuffer hook will always include the drm modules, regardless of
whether it is dealing with an encrypted system or not.
