Possibly the cryptsetup package changed (and become broken). Then the
4.17 initramfs was (re)built (due to the install/upgrade of that
kernel) while the 4.16 initramfs wasn't rebuilt.

I expected that there were be triggers in place which should have
caused the 4.16 initramfs (in fact, all initramfses) to be updated if a
relevant package (e.g. cryptsetup) was changed, but perhaps that was
more in hope than expectation and it's only an initramfs-tools update
which would trigger that?

Ian.
