Not quite. In older versions, "-k all" would apply to every initramfs
image that initramfs-tools remembered generating (as recorded in
/var/lib/initramfs-tools).

Yes, though I can't see how the previous behaviour was useful either.
Do you delete existing initramfs images, using something other than
"update-initramfs -d", before you run "update-initramfs -k all -c"?
