Well, this is what splashy used to do, but there were complains about
this. Some people want to keep old initramfses around which are known to
work. Also updating all initramfses could potentially take a very long
time. It is now agreed, that all packages that want to alter an initamfs
are now supposed to call the same command which by default only rebuilds
the initramfs of the current kernel. If you do want to rebuild all
initramfses on an updte you can configure update-initramfs-tools to do
that. I do not know the configuration file by hard but you can probably
find it easily under /etc/.
