Public bug reported:
When installing `linux-modules-nvidia-550-generic-hwe-24.04` and
`initramfs-tools` at the same time, running the postinst script of
`nvidia-kernel-common-550` will fail with `/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 102:
.: cannot open /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf: No such file`
To reproduce:
```
docker run --rm -it ubuntu:noble bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install
--no-install-recommends linux-modules-nvidia-550-generic-hwe-24.04
initramfs-tools"
```
The relevant error output:
```

I guess that the cause lies in the postinst script of `nvidia-kernel-
common-550`, which checks `/usr/sbin/update-initramfs` is an executable
and executes it if so, not considering the case when the package
`initramfs-tools` is unpacked but unconfigured, and its config files
have not been created yet.
