Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: important

When you install a new kernel version (e.g. 2.6.29 -> 2.6.30, or
2.6.30-1 to 2.6.31-2) the new version is not written to flash.  This
is because initramfs-tools will only call flash-kernel when updating a
ramdisk (-u), but not when creating one (-c).

I mentioned this problem before, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526640#44
and your response was:

"postinst takes itself care of lilo and folks traditionaly.
also we had a race in sight why this should be used.
sorry i don't rememeber any details right now, was giving a seminar,
will look later in it again."

Since users are running into this problem (I just got another report on
debian-arm), it would be good to look at this again.

Changed-By: Loïc Minier <lool@debian.org>
Description: 
 flash-kernel - utility to make certain embedded devices bootable
 flash-kernel-installer - Make the system bootable (udeb)
Closes: 550584
Changes: 
 flash-kernel (3.0~rc.2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New kernel and initramfs hooks, new logic: flash-kernel always installs
     the latest version according to linux-version and ignores other calls.
     - Fixes installation of new kernel ABIs; closes: #550584.
     - NEWS, man page: document new behavior.
     - flash-kernel depends on linux-base >= 3.2 for linux-version.
   * Add support for triggers; see #550584 for discussion.
   * Misc syntax fixes / cleanups / refactoring; tweak output.
     - Fix some bogus messages in error conditions.
     - Refactor flash-kernel-installer and initramfs-tools hook to use shared
       function and database.
     - Split code and testsuite out.
   * Toshiba AC100 / Android handling; thanks to Julian Andres Klode for his
     input (and patience :-)
     - abootimg would now be installed via flash-kernel-installer.
     - set default root= in initrd.
     - drop Android-Boot-Config hurts more than it helps
     - don't try checking for a specific size; instead let abootimg handle size
       checks for us; size checks were meant to identify the largest partition,
       instead just scan all partitions from MMC and chose the largest one.
   * Add OMAP4 Pandaboard support.
   * Split out database in its own file under /usr/share/flash-kernel/db/;
     document format in README.
   * Drop Extra-Cmdline used in EfikaMX boot scripts; instead rely on initrd to
     set root= (as for other boards).
   * Drop accidental support for Thecus N4100 in f-k-i.
