[Bug 1799070] [NEW] Netboot initrd is not updated with signed modules

[Roland Kaufmann]

Public bug reported:

At the time of writing (21-oct-2018) the distribution directory at

http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/signed/linux-
amd64/

contains kernels for versions 4.15.0-33.36, 4.15.0-34.37 and
4.15.0-36.39, whereas

http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-
amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz

contains modules for kernel version 4.15.0-29.

Thus, a signed UEFI netboot image cannot be constructed for the latest
point release of Ubuntu Bionic, as the modules doesn't match the kernel.

I would expect that *either* the modules in the netboot image were
updated when a new kernel version was built, *or* that the old kernels
that at one time matched the netboot image were still available for
download.

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
