[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#941859: zfs-dkms: Apt upgrade procedure does not trigger 'update-initramfs'

[John Daktylidis]

Package: zfs-dkms
Version: 0.8.2-2~bpo10+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

during the upgrade procedure to install the new '0.8.2-2' version from stable-bpo I had to manually trigger 'update-initramfs' after the installation in order to update the zfs version.
(or at least the version reported by /sys/module/zfs/version)
Note that I use zfs on root.

It would make sense to add a DpkgTrigger to call 'update-initramfs' automatically during the update procedure.
