I get uswsusp, cryptsetup, mdadm and udev on my machine. They all simply call update-initramfs -u. This means that security updates of these packages are not automatically applied to all installed kernels which is a major security issue imho. If you insist that update-initramfs -u only updates the latest kernel, you should file bug reports against all packages using update-initramfs -u.
