I thought we were already doing this; are we only removing the kernel itself
and not the initramfs?

Colin, does ubiquity call update-initramfs unconditionally? i.e., is that
code already being thoroughly tested? Are we sure it does the right thing if
no initramfs already exists? If it's predictable and safe, we can do it,
otherwise it should wait until after the release.
