Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
For a long time I've been following the "best practise" of installing /boot/ into a separate partition, which normally is not mounted during runtime. Obviously, this causes problems when automatic ubuntu updates try to write files there. A warning should be added before the update process, if /boot/ is expected to be mounted, but isn't.

update-initramfs doesn't mount/umount boot. So reassigning for update-manager.
