Title:
  Visibility of progress during "update-initramfs" not given

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello

  shortlog:

  If a new user installs ubuntu and as post-installation task runs the
  available updates he certainly gets a new Kernel too – this means that
  the initRAMFS will be updated.

  Depending on the Hardware equipment, this can be a rather timely + CPU
  consuming process.

  The chance to believe the PC stalls is at high risk w/o visual
  feedback.

  If the electricty or internet-connection fails to work - and the
  process was interupted, the system will call for a

  $ E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'
  to correct the problem

  If the user does so, he gets no visul feedback in terms of a
  progressbar - this could be possible in the terminal!

  Remember the Knoppix CD, where the boot-process in itself was visible?

question is visible. (Source: Semper-Video - Knoppix Rettungs-CD, 2008/07)

  It can build trust to  see that a process is evolving - even the
  Redmond-guys respect this - still with W10 - giving a visual feedback
  to the user - not just a blinking cursor.

  Thinking this would not be to timely to implement.

  Thanks for making Ubuntu better every day!
