Contrary to section 8.3 of the Debian Kernel Handbook [1],
/usr/sbin/update-tirfs does not run the hook scripts in
/etc/initramfs/post-update.d. Together with a bug in systemd-boot (#1014581)
this led to my system trying and failing to boot without an initramfs.
I did not know whether to make the severity of this bug normal or serious.
While it does violate a 'must' directive in the Kernel Handbook, I don't know
whether that carries the same severity as violating a directive from the Policy.
Regards,
Victor Westerhuis

Subject: Run hook scripts in /etc/initramfs/post-update.d
According to the Debian Kernel Handbook, section 8.3, "initramfs
builders must call these scripts using run-parts after they create,
update or delete an initramfs."
Because update-tirfs uses `set -e`, there is no need to check if the
preceding invocation of mktirfs was successful.
