I finally had a look at this while preparing a new version. Sorry for taking so long, but I hope you understand that wishlist bugs asking a question are not a high priority. The dpkg documentation isn't clear (#904060), but it appears to me that if we use "interest-noawait" then an activating package that really needs to await will not be able to do so. If we carry on using "interest" (or "interest-await") then the activating package can choose whether to await the trigger or not. A search for explicit triggers: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=activate.*update-initramfs shows that there are packages that use "activate-await", and I would not want to override that without consultation.
