The issue of doing this in each and every possible initramfs image recipe is
that it does not scale. For example, this code in the original patch is very
common:
d.appendVarFlag('do_install', 'depends', '
${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}:do_image_complete')
And INITRAMFS_IMAGE can be set anywhere - in machine config, distro config or
even by end user in local.conf

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Our LTS maintainer is too good! :)
Seriously though, not sure why changing warning to error was even considered
for backporting to LTS! Making things stricter doesn't usually fall under
"bugfix" category...
