The problem
===========
When setting up `linux-image-4.4.0-53-generic`, the following warning
appears three times:
: Unable to find an initial ram disk that I know how to handle.
Will not try to make an initrd.
However, when setting up `linux-image-extra-4.4.0-53-generic`, the
following message appears:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-53-generic
The text "Unable to find an initial ram disk" appears in
`/usr/sbin/dkms`, though it may appear elsewhere.
What should happen
==================
The warning message should not appear.
