My point was that we will need a way to make sure that users will not inadvertently make their system unbootable after an upgrade. While depending on the right version of initramfs-tools is easy, and detecting if an initramfs is configured in the boot loader may be possible, I am not sure that a package can realiably change the boot loader configuration if it is not correct. > The same hook that is used to update initramfs could be used to re-copy > stuff to / on updates too.

I do not think that copying stuff from /usr to / can work for the general case, so if somebody does not want to use an initramfs then they can locally implement random workarounds as well. -- ciao, Marco
