We are deleting the initramfs on removal of linux-image-extra instead of
updating it. What we should do is treat any change to linux-image-extra
the same way we treat _installation_ of linux-image as this always remains
installed. This issue was introduced when I switched us from a bespoke
postinst/postrm which attempted to do the right thing, but triggered a
rebuild of the wrong initramfs due to trigger handling.
Following this email is a patch which switches us back to a bespoke
postinst/postrm modified to run the appropriate hooks in /etc/kernel
which gains us the correct trigger avoidance for update-initramfstools.
Proposing for SRU to trusty.
