I was wondering whether we could take steps to move flash-kernel to a
trigger; I'm aware of earlier discussion on this topic on -boot. We
rediscussed this recently on #ubuntu-arm and the discussion is on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365053
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25876740/ubuntu-arm.txt
most of the discussion is about moving the logic in update-initramfs'
run_bootloader() -- at least the flash-kernel part -- in a new config
similar to kenrel-img.conf's postinst_hook.
I think it would be possible to make flash-kernel calls trigger a new
flash-kernel trigger which would do the real update; the flash-kernel
postinst, update-initramfs calls, and kernel installation would all
cause this trigger to be activated, and the flash-kernel would only
have to ensure that the update-initramfs trigger if any has completed.
Am I missing something? Does this make any sense?
