Ramdisks always exist in the kernel (as a compile time option, but
presumably in the Raspbian kernel they are enabled). They don’t occupy
space when empty but they do show up /proc/partitions.

fdisk just reports what it finds in /proc/partitions. Apparently there’s
a behavior change at some point in its history, which is why this
outcome is unfamiliar.
