While installing a Debian 9 system a couple of days ago, I noticed that at the end of the installation it took a couple of seconds for doing finalizing actions related to open-iscsi - even though the system I installed didn't use iSCSI at all. I've looked at that for a bit, and found out that this is my own fault: one of the uploads of open-iscsi I did before the freeze changed the logic on how the initiatorname was generated within the installer, (due to feedback from Ubuntu people IIRC) ensuring that /etc/iscsi always contains files, and the check in the finish-install script now thinks that iSCSI is used in _all_ installations. (It checks for /etc/iscsi/* [1].) For this reason it regenerates the initramfs on all installations, which takes a couple of seconds. The effect here is totally harmless (it just unnecessarily calls update-initramfs -k all -u), but it might be annoying. KiBi: I suspect you don't want to change this so close to the release, but in case you do, I'd be happy to upload a targeted fix for that.
