This avoid optential OOM when the size of the initrd.img becomes larger (LP: #1496317). Implementation details are : o New kernel hooks are added to create smaller initrd.img files when new kernel packages are installed : /etc/kernel/postrm.d/kdump-tools /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools o kdump-config is responsible for the maintenance of symbolic links used to point to the appropriate vmlinuz & initrd files. Link maintenance is done at each boot by kdump-config. New links will point to the files named after the running kernel. o The KDUMP_KERNEL and KDUMP_INITRD configuration variables are now now enabled and use the symbolic links : /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img o kdump-config has been adapted to show the symbolic link information - kdump-tools is now enabled by default.
