Public bug reported:

The initramfs-tools's version of update-initramfs starts with


if [ -n "$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE" ] && [ $# = 1 ] && [ "$1" = -u ]; then
        if dpkg-trigger --no-await update-initramfs; then
                echo "update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)"
                exit 0
        fi
fi


such that postinst scripts running update-initramfs -u get converted to triggering the trigger.

The dracut version lacks that, causing duplicate initramfs generations
in a single apt run.

Please add that mechanism
