Bug#594189: initramfs-tools: environment variable to disable run_bootloader

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98
Severity: wishlist
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick

In the case where one is building an image and part of the image build
involves running update-initramfs, it would be useful to have a single
guaranteed way to disable installing any bootloader.  Individual
bootloader hooks in /etc/initramfs-tools/post-update.d/ can do this, but
it would be better to have something central.  Should this be an
environment variable or perhaps a configuration file entry?
