Title:
  Failure to download linux-image-extra-*-generic causes initrd to be
  built incorrectly with no warning

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've had this happen twice on kernel upgrades, most recently when
  linux-image-extra-4.4.0-95-generic failed to download due to an iffy
  connection. Because linux-image-4.4.0-95-generic did successfully
  download, its setup (run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-
  update-grub 4.4.0-95-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-95-generic) was run
  and an initrd file built.

  The problem is that the resulting initrd file is less than half the
  size it should be, lacking all of the drivers that would have come in
  from the "extra" package:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38288353 Aug 22 10:09 initrd.img-4.4.0-89-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38289328 Aug 22 10:11 initrd.img-4.4.0-93-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38371214 Sep  2 06:00 initrd.img-4.4.0-94-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16899714 Sep 11 12:15 initrd.img-4.4.0-95-generic

  The result is a system that upon reboot cannot access important things
  such as the network. Recovery involves putting hands on the console
  and using GRUB to manually select a prior kernel with a good initrd.

  Recommendation: Do not allow the build of initrd and consequent
  activation of the new kernel as default without making sure the extra
  package has been or can be installed if selected. At the very minimum,
  issue a warning that the system may not be properly rebootable.

  Note that the following information is compiled while booted from
  kernel 94 rather than the kernel 95 with the faulty initrd.
