Bug#1101101: initscripts: update initscripts 3.14-3 to 3.14-4 removes kernel

[richard at appendix.xaq.nl]

Package: initscripts
Version: 3.14-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

On multiple Sys-V machines the update of initscripts removes the kernel:

REMOVING:
  alsa-utils            kmod                       linux-image-amd64
  initramfs-tools       linux-image-6.12.12-amd64  plymouth
  initramfs-tools-core  linux-image-6.12.17-amd64  plymouth-label

For the moment I put the package on hold. Using "apt-cache depends" I can't find out why this happens. I'm not a dpkg guru either.

R.
