Title:
  Apt performs some actions multiple times when once would suffice

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've noticed that if I just ask aptitude to purge kernel packages
  (packages linux-image-, linux-restricted-modules- and linux-ubuntu-
  modules-2.6.24-11-generic), apt/dpkg is invoking twice:

  1) update-initramfs which doesn't need to be invoked at all (or once at the end when it's got nothing to do)
  2) update-grub which needs to be invoked just once at the end

  (you can see output of aptitude in attachment). I think that this is
  reason, why has bug #44535 so bad impact.
