I think the "real" bug here, is that the postinst-script (usr/share
/kernel-package/pkg/image/postinst) from newer versions of kernel-
package stopped building initrds but the version of initramfs-tools in
lucid doesn't install the necessary files in
/etc/kernel/post{inst,rm}.d/ to pick up the slack. Newer versions of
initramfs-tools (in maverick) does this correctly:

aowi@otto ~ $ diff -Naur <(ssh bonnie dpkg -L initramfs-tools) <(dpkg -L 
initramfs-tools)|grep /etc/kernel
+/etc/kernel
+/etc/kernel/postinst.d
+/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools
+/etc/kernel/postrm.d
+/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools

(otto is maverick, bonnie is lucid).

Backporting the newer initramfs-tools to lucid would solve this problem
for those of us desperately clinging to a long-term support release :-)
