[Bug 359828] [NEW] update-initramfs with a full /tmp isn't handled...

[H3g3m0n]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

When doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, during the update-initramfs couldn't
create the image due to lack of space in /tmp, it just continued on
anyway ignoring the errors. Fortunately I was awake enough to spot the
problem, free space in /tmp and manually generate the image but
unattended updates, or ones hidden amongst heaps of other updates could
cause problems.

I think this is different to #300742 since that seems to be for putting
generated images into /boot
