Bug#561289: kernel-package: initramfs-tools not called after install, though run-parts tries to

severity 561289 grave
thanks

Okay, today this weird code in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools
has hit me again. However I sent questions about this few weeks ago and
nobody replied.

Which script are you talking about? Which user error?

I (the user) am not aware of any hacks applied by me which would cause
this silent fatal breakdown. This is what happens! Unbootable system or
landing in a weird state where udev does not work for no evident reason,
the only thing indicating the originating problem was udev's postinst.

And what I see is /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools which is
delivered by initramfs-tools, which breaks my systems, which has no
proper documentation inside about why it breaks my systems, and where
the maintainers did not respond to my mail asking about this thing
send WEEKS ago.

Now please explain what is going on and fix it. Until that happens, the
thing is worth having a grave severity, sorry.

Eduard.
