This is because initramfs-tools already uses triggers, see #447611¹.
I'm not convinced that it is a very good idea to do this in Lenny
packages, since the Etch versions of apt and aptitude lack support for
the new trigger states. While dpkg 1.14.18 conflicts with these
versions, a dist-upgrade from Etch to Lenny will still be done by the
old versions.
