This can be very dangerous. Don't do it.
Some of the stuff in initramfs-tools is REALLY allergic to "-", and it can
break the initramfs in such a way that it will crash the next boot, and that
will be a *real* pain to fix if you don't have a backup initramfs that works
already installed in the system.
Also, you just caused the hook to be processed twice... once with a safe
name, and once with an usafe name.
When you notice something that looks like a character substitution bug
involving stuff that has special meanings like "-", "+", "=", space, tab,
".", etc., at least consider it might be there on purpose and read the
package changelog looking for hints:
intel-microcode (1.20120606.v2.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* initramfs: work around initramfs-tools bug #688794.
Use "_" in place of "+-." for the initramfs script name. This works
around a PANIC during boot when the initramfs was created in a system
with noexec $TMPDIR.
