Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: initramfs-tools@packages.debian.org, debian-kernel@lists.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:initramfs-tools
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package initramfs-tools

[ Reason ]
An optimisation to avoid redundant initramfs updates turned out not to
be entirely correct.

[ Impact ]
The initramfs is not always updated after a package triggers an
update.  Depending on when this happenes, this could result in boot
failure, security updates not being applied to the initramfs, or
cosmetic changes missing.

[ Tests ]
Many boot configurations are covered by autopkgtests.  There isn't a
specific test for the operation of triggers.

[ Risks ]
This reverts trigger handling to the simpler version used in earlier
versions (including in bullseye and bookworm), so there is nothing new
being introduced.  The only risk I see is that some users or tests may
have started relying on the faster operation since v0.147.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
