What can be done to make dpkg stop trying to replace the initrd that I have made
immutable? I don't want it replaced. Nothing (now) in 5.15 will solve the problem
that needs the solution reported here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/4762

The problem is dual displays cannot be used until after POST on LGA1200
motherboards with Intel a5## chipset and motherboard BIOS from Asus and ASRock.
So, I need a 5.17 kernel. Anything to do with 5.15 is a waste of time, unless and
untl the 4762 fix gets backported, or the motherboard makers release a fixed BIOS.
I don't want to beat up my SSD rebuilding bloated initrds needlessly, and dpkg
here is ignoring update_initramfs=no in update-initramfs.conf. :(
