  * Check for update-initramfs being installed before running the postinst
    hook which updates the softlinks (LP: #1928700).

it's actually enough to test that a kernel installs on a clean chroot, and I've tested bionic/focal/hirsute that they're fine now with the new version

Possibly a regression is being reported
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-base/+bug/1929255

Please investigate, and if that needs fixing, please take appropriate action. If determined to not be a regression, please remove the validation-failed tags.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted linux-base (4.5ubuntu3.4) for focal have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

linux-aws-5.8/5.8.0-1035.37~20.04.1 (arm64)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

    initrd.img symlinks in / or /boot. LP: #1929255

  * Make the new posinst hook executable (the correct bits were lost when
