This should be fixed by c1fa297a (update-initramfs: allow -t takeover
on delete, 2009-09-25) and 02cb277c (/etc/kernel/postrm.d/i-t: use now
takeover on delete, 2009-09-25).  See <http://bugs.debian.org/547365>.

max, do you have plans for a release soon?  It sounds like a few
people have been bitten by this bug, so it would be nice to give the
fix some wider exposure.

Thanks,
Jonathan
