Yes, I'm aware of that. > (cryptsetup-initramfs does so, on the > assumption that you will need to type a passphrase.) And I have cryptsetup-initramfs installed (and kbd and console-setup intentionally not installed). > I don't consider this a bug. I get a complaint every single time I upgrade packages that cause the initramfs trigger to run, and every time I regenerate the initramfs myself. I'd like to stop getting that message. This hook doesn't make sense to run unless kbd or console-setup is installed. Rather than having the hook in initramfs-tools and checking if kbd or console-setup is installed, why not move the hook to one of those packages (where it can *know* that package is installed)? cryptsetup-initramfs already Recommends kbd and console-setup. This error message feels tantamount to emitting a warning on every single apt upgrade saying "there are recommended packages you don't have installed".
