[Bug 1466965] [NEW] update-initramfs runs more often than necessary

 

Public bug reported:

A discussion that has come up before,  but I figured I'd file a bug.

When you 'apt-get install <some-packages>' often times:
 a.) update-initramfs is called more than once for the same kernel
 b.) update-initramfs might not even be called (such as in bug 1466960).

some conversation with infinity in #ubuntu-devel [1] indicates that he
and apw have discussed how to do solve this.
