I don't know if there is a link or if it could be useful: now, when I update the system, there is an error at the end of the install process due to the failure to reconfigure initramfs-tools.
Note that I run an older kernel (2.6.32-3-486) than the kernel version (2.6.32-5-486) the script tries to update. degtyarov:/home/stephane# LANG=c aptitude safe-upgrade Resolving dependencies...
