Public bug reported:
in the snappy world we do not create or update the initrd on the fly so
neither the dependencies of initramfs-tools nor the scripts themselves
are required to be installed inside the rootfs.
due to the nature of our build process initramfs-tools and
initramfs-tools-ubuntu-core get installed in the rootfs chroot before the
chroot gets turned into a tarball. instead of doing it this way,
initramfs-tools and all its dependencies should only be installed after tarball
creation to run update-initramfs and create the initrd.img.
this way we would not have any of the dependencies inside the rootfs tarball.
implementing this setup will likely require some changes to seed management or
the bootstrap process to not pull in initramfs-tools in the first place and
additionally some scripting in the live-build/auto/build script in
livecd-rootfs for the post processing and initrd generation.
