Public bug reported:
The shipped initrd doesn't match the compression that you'd get if you
update the initrd on bionic:
# A clean bionic cloud-image
$ file /boot/initrd.img-4.13.0-17-generic
/boot/initrd.img-4.13.0-17-generic: LZMA compressed data, streamed
# Update the initramfs (notice the deprecation warnings too)
$ sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.13.0-17-generic
WARNING: Setting CRYPTSETUP in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is
deprecated and will stop working in the future. Use
/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook instead.
# Now initramfs is gzip compressed when packaged initramfs was LZMA
$ file /boot/initrd.img-4.13.0-17-generic
