#92276 — Bug#1135723: firmware-nonfree: gencontrol conflates initramfs-tools with update-initramfs

Source: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20250410-2
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: agathe.porte@oss.qualcomm.com

Dear Maintainer,

The gencontrol system in the source package currently conflates the
following:

- the "initramfs-tools" package name
- the "update-initramfs" binary name

Since "update-initramfs" can be provided not only by initramfs-tools but
also dracut, this creates confusion around what is actually needed. My
suggestion is to replace the "initramfs-tools" mentions with
"update-initramfs" where they make more sense.

I plan to create a PR and fix this bug myself, self-reporting here to
avoid work duplication.

Thanks,

Agathe.
