I've made this bug apply to 'flash-kernel'. My understanding of the issue is
* flash-kernel is called by update-initramfs.
* flash-kernel has some logic that decides to invoke mkimage sometimes
it seems to me that flash-kernel package should at very least 'Recommend'
u-boot-tools at least on armhf or arm64 systems.
At worst case, such a recommend would mean ubuntu systems (where apt recommends
by default) would get u-boot-tools on systems where it would go un-used.
u-boot-tools is installed size of 172k. I think that is reasonable cost to
hide such bugs from future users.
