Title:
  buildd images contain broken update-initramfs script

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/439022047/buildlog_ubuntu-eoan-
  amd64.diffoscope_121_BUILDING.txt.gz fails with:

    Setting up linux-firmware (1.181) ...
    /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: 3: exec: update-initramfs.REAL: not found
    dpkg: error processing package linux-firmware (--configure):
     installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

  This is a bug in the buildd images: they don't contain initramfs-tools
  at all, so while the chroot configuration stage creates an update-
  initramfs diversion, the deconfiguration stage sees that update-
  initramfs.REAL doesn't exist and so never removes the diversion or the
  temporary replacement script.
