Sorry, I missed the entirety of the message with the logs and didn't notice that there was a kernel there, and that /var/lib/kdump-tools/ and /var/crash/ seem to be writable.
As I said, I just pushed a test makedumpfile/kdump-tools to ppa:cascardo/ppa that does not create the initrd during postinst. Also, notice that kdump-tools.service needs to be enabled, but that it will fail to load if crashkernel has not been reserved, that is, you need crashkernel=..... in the kernel command line. Can you verify what is the value of /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size ? The only thing I guess would be a pending issue for this case is the drivers that are included in the kdump initrd. As you said, it uses MODULES=dep instead of MODULES=most to reduce the memory footprint for the crashkernel. We could work on a solution there. But can you at least install and load kdump-tools with this fixed package, once you make sure you have a proper crashkernel on the command line? Thank you.
