Hi,
The package fails to install (failure to check if the image is
modifiable), is the first part. Failure to install makes is
unuseable.

The init ram fs was not created using initramfs-tools, and yet
it tries to recreate the initramfs on upgrade, without asking the
admin, which is an problem in its own right: Why is automated
regeneration of the initramfs being done? If I want to, I should be
able to refresh the initrd when I wish it should be updated.
