It seems as if lexical sort is used to determine the "newest kernel" for which
the initramfs is updated when calling "update-initramfs -u".  For example, at
my machine, this leads to the initramfs of 2.6.32-rc8 being updated instead of
the more recend 2.6.32.  This behaviour is at variance with the man page's claim
of updating the "newest kernel".

will close soonest unless some really convicing arg comes up.

Let me try: "The program's behaviour differs from the description in the manpage." Doesn't sound like a bug to you?

Of course, the issue can be fixed a) in the program or b) in the man page, but in my opinion, it definitely should be fixed.

Cheers!
