Demoting the dependency to Recommends: or Suggests: would allow creating smaller images without initramfs-tools installed and fully skipping initramfs updates upon kernel updates saving time. Please consider changing the Depends: to Recommends: or Suggests: for kernels capable of booting without initramfs. initramfs-tools is still a dependency of ubuntu-minimal thus accidental removal of initramfs-tools resulting an unbootable system would still be unlikely.
