Bug Description

update-initramfs is assuming that /var/lib/firmware/`uname -r` exists, and runs find on the directory multiple times (only to find it doesn't exist).
it would be preferable if it checked for the directories existence, then only tried to register firmware from it if it does exist.

Newer mkinitramfs from initramfs-tools both looks at /lib/modules and /lib/modules/$(uname -r).
Nothing to search in /var/lib thus closing.
