Extended Ubuntu Flavor Build Failure

[Martin Wimpress]

Hi,

Thanks for the notification.

I did get a notification from seb128 via Matrix on July 4th that the
Ubuntu MATE build was failing due to missing initramfs-tools. I
prepped the update for Ubuntu MATE, but looking in my dev container,
the push and dput failed.

Sorry about that. I'll push the updates in a few minutes.
