Bug#509237: purge: /var/lib/initramfs-tools' not empty so not removed

[maximilian attems <max@stro.at>]

reassign 509237 kernel-package
stop

first of all you shouldn't use mkinitramfs but update-initramfs.
# to create the initramfs
update-initramfs -c -t -k <kernelversion>
# to delete the initramfs
update-initramfs -d -t -k <kernelversion>

second if you now call it for your linux-image there will be a
sha1sum in /var/lib/initramfs-tools/$(uname -r)
this one needs to be removed when the linux image is purged.

right.
the initramfs doesn't belong to initramfs-tools :)

please rethink an issue before reassigning to random packages.

kind regards
