Hi,
From the NEWS file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* This is a major change in functionality; do not upgrade unless you are
prepared for the changes required on target machines.
* The image postinst no longer runs the initramfs creation
commands. Instead, there are example scripts provided that will
perform the task. These scripts will work for official kernel images
as well.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The new man page says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--initrd
If make-kpkg is generating a kernel-image package, arrange to
convey to the hook scripts that this image requires an initrd,
and that the initrd generation hook scripts should not short
circuit early. Without this option, the example initramfs hook
scripts bundled in with ker‐ nel-package will take no action
on installation. The same effect can be achieved by setting
the environment variable INITRD to any non empty value.
Please note that unless there are hook scripts in /etc/kenel
or added into the hook script parameter of
/etc/kernel-img.conf. no initrd will be created.
