Add "COMPRESS=xz" to /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf; now
/boot/initramfs* will be xz-compressed cpio files.  Then `lsinitramfs`
fails:

$ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic
/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic

gzip: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic: not in gzip format
cpio: premature end of archive

Patch to follow.
