The bug is actually in update-initramfs, not mkinitramfs. I verified
the bug and removing the double-quotation marks around ${OPTS} does
correct the problem. With the double quotes around ${OPTS}, passing the
-v option to update-initramfs produces the following output:
$sudo update-initramfs -k `uname -r` -u -v
