Bug description:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

On OMAP4 (armel, v7a) board with no mtd partitions, initramfs-tools complain with " Cannot find mtd partition 'Kernel' ", which prevents further configure/install, leaving the package half-configured.

Complete aptitude installation log:

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.98ubuntu2) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

Cannot find mtd partition 'Kernel'
dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
