Running this once after each emerge world/system would be more efficient
than running it after every package, something like this

#!/bin/sh

KERNEL="/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"

for FILE in $(awk '/^file/ {print $3}' /usr/src/init.cfg); do
	if [[ ${FILE} -nt ${KERNEL} ]]; then
		echo "${FILE} is newer than initramfs"
		fi
	done

Incidentally, testing this showed that my busybox has been updated since
the kernel was built, but I have managed to reboot without the sky
falling in.
