[Bug 152548] Uninstall of linux-image package first creates initrd

[Peter Klotz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

I used Synaptics Package manager to perform a complete removal of
"linux-image-2.6.22-9", "linux-image-2.6.22-10" and "linux-
image-2.6.22-11" in order to free up space in /boot.

When watching with ls I saw the uninstall procedure first creating a new
initrd file (and making a backup of the old one) before actually
deleting the linux-image package files. This happened with all three
linux-image packages.

It seems to me that creating an initrd image just before removing it
makes not much sense. Especially since on my aged hardware creating an
initrd image takes quite a while.

All this was observed on Ubuntu 7.10 Beta. Synaptic Package manager says
"synaptic 0.60ubuntu4".
