This bug is still present in 20.04, k5.4.0-113 at this writing.

Apparently the script looks *only* at /boot to decide which drivers are
needed. When root (or /home) is on a separate nvme drive, the system
won't boot until initramfs is updated manually (with nvme driver).

The fix seems pretty simple; just test the root fs type and include the
drivers if different from those of /boot, then update initramfs.
