This is caused by libc6's Conflict with older versions of initrd-tools.
If you upgrade initrd-tools before libc6 then the problem should go

I'm not sure if there is anything we can do in libc6 to make this
situation work better (for example, by encouraging apt to upgrade
initrd-tools rather than removing it).  Any suggestions would be
welcome.
