In the first case, they're harmless. It's an unfortunate side effect of
having the kernel split into multiple packages. kernel-$flavor-extra
depends on kernel-$flavor which depends on kernel-$flavor-base. At each
dependency, it's not guaranteed that the next package will be installed
so we need to attempt to build the initrd then. Sometimes the
dependencies won't be met until the next package is installed.
Ultimately, the correct initrd is generated - it's just noisy in the
meantime.

I'd recommend opening a bug report against perl-bootloader for the other
issues.
