I don't have the background on what exactly the bug is caused by. and your very brief explanation doesn't enlighten much. I did run a native package and yes, it doesn't generate an initrd image there. But we can do better in the current way we are handling. Instead of just silently exiting, you could atleast warn the user. Attached is the patch.

Max, The /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ folder contains one hook, initramfs-tools. I suppose, you are shipping it. I don't know why you have enabled the second check: # kernel-package passes an extra arg; hack to not run under kernel-package #[ -z "$2" ] || exit 0 Disabling it and doing the installation creates the initrd image properly.

Bug#532908: initramfs-tools: initrd image not created on custom kernels
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.2 Severity: important I haven't verified on Debian shipped kernels, but when installing my custom kernel, initramfs-tools didn't create an initrd image for the same. I had to boot through the previous kernel and manually create the initrd image.
