Attached is a patch to improve the way update-initramfs handles the
generating of new or updated initramfs images for kernels. It puts in
place a few measures to ensure that if there is not enough disk space on
/boot, a previous initramfs is still in tact, to allow the booting of
that kernel. The patch applies against current git head. See the Ubuntu
specification found at the following URL for more information:

why does a mv instead of an hardlinkg ensure better reliabiality!?
with aboves hardlink you are assured to have a backup initramfs.
do you need support /boot that have no hardlink support?
sorry need more explanations for above to be satisfied.
- rm -f ${initramfs_bak}
+ mv -f ${initramfs_bak} ${initramfs}
how is that better again?
only a result of aboves first choice of not using hardlinks.

this hook got inversed but that doesn't matter right now,
need more info anyway.
