Bug Description

Linux kernel packages depend on initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-tool, even when systems using the kernel can be booted without it.

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.

That is incorrect. We are in the process of building images for *all* cloud targets that boot without initrd.

And linux-gke in particular is used *only* in images that boot without initrd.

Steve, any reason to include "linux" also?

This is a general improvement to the kernel packaging wrt userspace
integration. We don't expect to produce any initramfsless images using the
generic kernel, but if a user wants to remove initramfs-tools, they should
still be able to.
