Bug description:
Linux kernel packages depend on initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-
tool, even when systems using the kernel can be booted without it.
Demoting the dependency to Recommends: or Suggests: would allow
creating smaller images without initramfs-tools installed and fully
skipping initramfs updates upon kernel updates saving time.
Please consider changing the Depends: to Recommends: or Suggests: for
kernels capable of booting without initramfs.
initramfs-tools is still a dependency of ubuntu-minimal thus
accidental removal of initramfs-tools resulting an unbootable system
would still be unlikely.
