Public bug reported:

Currently client.ini specifies:

[gpg]
archive_master: /etc/system-image/archive-master.tar.xz

The problem is that file in /etc are automatically marked as conffiles
by debhelper and as such don't get moved into place until the dpkg
configure step.

This caused an issue for the initramfs-tools-ubuntu-core package since that Depends on system-image-common (which provides 
etc/system-image/archive-master.tar.xz), but when the  initramfs-tools-ubuntu-core package was unpacked, this triggered update-initramfs which failed since it needs access to /etc/system-image/archive-master.tar.xz, but that file had not yet been moved into place.
