Public bug reported:

I have no idea why apt does this, but it does this frequently when
installing many packages:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu15) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-30-generic
(Reading database ... 92116 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../ntfs-3g_1%3a2014.2.15AR.3-1ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking ntfs-3g (1:2014.2.15AR.3-1ubuntu0.2) over (1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2) 
...
Preparing to unpack .../uuid-runtime_2.25.2-4ubuntu3_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking uuid-runtime (2.25.2-4ubuntu3) over (2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.7) ...
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu15) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-30-generic

The above is from a dist-upgrade during a do-release-upgrade to 15.04
from 14.10.3.  It's the 8th or 12th time apt has run an update-initramfs
in a single run.

Can't this defer to the end of the process?  It takes a long time, long
enough for dozens of additional packages to install.
