Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.85h Severity: wishlist I recently set up a system with /boot being too small. While this is my fault update-initramfs could handle this in a better way than backup the old (working) initramfs and leave a truncated one for the next reboot will fail. (Yes, it told me that my initramfs was broken afterwards!)
(According to my understanding of the scripts the bug also applies to 0.91b.) I therefore suggest not creating the new initramfs directly, but create a new file with a different name and then in the last step rename the stuff if and only if no error occurred. By doing so the system will more often be in a bootable state. Furthermore this will prevent making a system unbootable by suspending the machine while updating the initramfs (a DD reported this on planet.d.o).
