I finally had a look at this while preparing a new version. Sorry for
taking so long, but I hope you understand that wishlist bugs asking a
question are not a high priority.
The dpkg documentation isn't clear (#904060), but it appears to me that
if we use "interest-noawait" then an activating package that really
needs to await will not be able to do so. If we carry on using
"interest" (or "interest-await") then the activating package can choose
whether to await the trigger or not.
A search for explicit triggers:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=activate.*update-initramfs
shows that there are packages that use "activate-await", and I would
not want to override that without consultation.
Ben.
