A relatively simple, js-based web page I meant to say.

Right on the Debian Kernel Handbook they tell you you may use
"initramfs hooks" for such things:
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-update-hooks.html#s-initramfs-hooks
even though I couldn't find exactly the
"/etc/initramfs/post-update.d/" directory used by update-initramfs
for post update hook options, I notice what seems to be a bunch of
those in:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/
