I picked the one I installed on May 30:
dpkg - warning: downgrading initramfs-tools from 0.92f to 0.92b.

I run all these commands chroot-ed from out of the initramfs shell, so
this all is of course not 100% clean...
flash-kernel version: 1.11
# flash-kernel
Flashing kernel... done.
Flashing initramfs... done.

1.11.
Aparently the warning comes from the flash_kernel_set_root initramfs hook in
flash-kernel?
It looks like either it is not caused by initramfs-tools or the bug somehow
keeps itself active perhaps due to me running the commands from a not fully
booted system... (but this was not the case the first time I ran into the
issue, that was a normal upgrade on a fully running system)
