This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.92bubuntu1
---------------
initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- Change Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep.
- Use busybox-initramfs for Depends.
- Do not source udev.conf.
- Set BUSBOXDIR properly.
- Keep kinit and gzip in initrd.
- Use -Qb for for module loading to honor blacklists via the use of
MODPROBE_OPTIONS.
- all_generic_ide script.
- Remove lvm local-top script (conflicts with lvm-common).
- takeover=1 in update-initramfs.
- Allow the mounting of a root filesystem as a loop device on top
of a host filesystem, used for wubi installs.
- Add vfat support to the initramfs.
- Reduce timeout to 30 seconds -- corner cases (giant
disk arrays, clusters) will need to provide their own rootdelay=
boot arg.
- Keep more meaningful text for no root device panic.
- Provide a clearer error on mount failure of the Windows host
filesystem.
- Add 2>&1 to the run-init line.
- Source /scripts/functions in resume script.
- resume UUID upgrade.
- Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when
no root device can be found.
- Panic if either the root device doesn't exist, or vol_id cannot
identify it. Allows for mountroot failure hooks for md devices
to be displayed.
- Ignore blacklist for forced vga= usage.
- Loop for 5 seconds waiting for $suspend to show up, adjustable
with the resumedelay= command-line arg.
- Load virtio_pci for MODULES=most.
- Usplash pulsates until the real init takes over.
- Drop scripts/init-premount/thermal as force_load can do this
for us during initramfs creation.
- Load thermal modules on lpia.
- Allow for alternative PREREQS to be specified using | as the
separator.
- Add udf to auto_add_modules. It was originally added to
dep_add_modules, however dep_add_modules now auto-detects the
modules needed for the root filesystem.
* hook-functions:
- Refer to /lib/firmware/${version} where version is the kernel
version we are building an initramfs for.
- Do not copy /lib/udev/firmware.agent to the initramfs. Ubuntu's
udev has /lib/udev/firmware_helper instead, and the udev hook
copies this to the initramfs for us.
- Dropped the manual_add_firmware function, as initramfs-tools now
checks the firmware field in the module it is copying, and copies
the firmware required by that module if its available.
* Drop hooks/keymap and the KEYMAP variable setting in
conf/initramfs.conf as console-setup takes care of keymap loading.
* hooks/udevhelper: Drop, udev already copies what it needs.
* hooks/legacylvm: Drop, as it refers to binaries and directories our
lvm package doesn't have.

Release "L'\xE9lecteur c'est notoire N'a pas tout' sa raison"
[ Joey Hess ]
* mkinitramfs: Include libgcc_s.so.1 on arm since glibc always tries to load

Thanks to Aurelien Jarno for ack and review.
[ maximilian attems ]

* scripts/local: Revert change to use udev vol_id before fstype,
there are too many "wrongly" formated fs out there. fstype supports less,
but is more robust.
initramfs-tools (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
[ maximilian attems ]
* debian/changelog: Fix missing colons in closes.
* hook-functions: Add a proper /sys walking dep_add_modules() for a minimal
initramfs on MODULES=dep. (closes: #395526)

low-level tool and how it fits with update-initramfs.

Thanks Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant+debianbugs at freegeek.org> for patch.
[ David Härdeman ]
* init: Remove cryptopts parsing, not official bootparam. cryptsetup scripts
parse /proc/cmdline themselves (even in the Etch version).
* hook-functions: Change copy_exec to use the same source and
destination path if only one argument is given.
* hook-functions: Document how copy_exec determines the target path.
* hook-functions: Add firmware loading support to manual_add_modules().
(closes: #355881)
* scripts/local: Ubuntu merge
- As well as waiting for the existance of the root device node, also check
to see whether we have a filesystem of some kind on it. Some devices
nodes (devmapper/LVM/EVMS, mdadm) will exist before they can be safely
used. Patch by Scott James Remnant <scott at ubuntu.com>. Changed to
support both fstype and vol_id.
* hook-functions: make version check in check_minkver more robust.
initramfs-tools (0.87b) unstable; urgency=low
* scripts/init-top/framebuffer: Remove vga16fb loading on splash bootarg.
Newer usplash > 0.4 no longer needs that.
* hooks/legacymdadm: remove only needed for partial upgrades from
sarge.
* hooks/legacylvm: Source relevant functions. (closes: 419667)
initramfs-tools (0.87) unstable; urgency=low
[ maximilian attems ]
* scripts/functions: reduce_satisfied() needs to ignore the same set as
set_initlist() otherwise an script having a prereqs on a non-executable
boot script may cause circular panic. (closes: 418509)
* Add blacklist boot param, disabling the load of specific modules inside
the initramfs. Still needs to be passed via tmpfs to the rootfs.
* mkinitramfs, scripts/functions: Fix regexes to always use posix character
classes. Based on a patch by Meelis Roos <mroos at linux.ee>.
(closes: 419062)
[ David Härdeman ]
* Add support for loading keymaps. (closes: 337663)
* Move legacy code from mkinitramfs to separate hooks.
* Ubuntu merge
- Add PS3 module loading functionality without grep usage.
* debian/copyright: Update authors info.
* Bump standards version, no changes necessary.
* debian/scripts: Print settings from initramfs.conf in reportbug script.
initramfs-tools (0.86) unstable; urgency=low
* update-initramfs: Bound the mode and version variable. (closes:
403905)
* init: Set once the MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable and export it.
Don't forget to set -b to have the modprobe.d blacklists respected.
Thus remove everywhere the -q modprobe switch.
Thanks Ben Collins <bcollins at ubuntu.com> for the suggestion.
* small trailing whitespace cleanup, display full path of kernel-img.conf
in bug script.
* debian/control: Add busybox-initramfs as Ubuntu busybox alternative
to depends. Drop the sarge busybox-cvs-static entry.
* scripts/local-top/mdrun: Drop, existed for partial upgrades from
sarge.
* scripts/local: Improve panic message and printed order. (closes: 414640)
Thanks Vincent.McIntyre at csiro.au for patch.
* scripts/functions: Check if panic is set before using it. (closes: 406107)
Thanks martin f krafft <madduck at debian.org> for report.
* hook-functions: Copy all kernel/drivers/{block,ide,scsi} subdir modules
instead of hardcoding the list of "supported" drivers. As consequence
the initramfs might be larger, but none of those should be missed!
As bonus syncs with Ubuntu.
* init: Mount /sys and /proc nodev, noexec, nosuid - Ubuntu sync.
* update-initramfs: If update-initramfs fails, restore the backup.
Useful if a MINKVER set is not fulfilled. (LP: #101844)
Thanks Soren Hansen <sh at linux2go.dk> for patch.
* initramfs-tools.preinst: Test if $RESUME is nonzero, not if it exists,
fixes issue of UUID resume dev. (LP: #67932) While there remove the
conffile mv handling of 0.61.
* scripts/functions: set_initlist() needs to add only script names with
alphabetics, numerics and underscores - skip any other. Bad enough
backup scripts get added, but they shouldn't lead to a panic. Also skip
directories that might lay around. (closes: 398347) (LP: #76131)
* initramfs-tools.8: Document valid script names.
* mkinitramfs: Don't add backup scripts to initramfs. (closes: 378682)
(LP: #78348)
* scripts/functions: run_scripts() return immediately if passed dir
does not exist. Empty dirs without boot script aren't created anymore.
* debian/copyright: Update my email, add Ben Collins, update years,
alphabetic authors sort + add new git tree location.
* mkinitramfs: Set PATH with /sbin to allow non-root user usage.
Thanks Bob Montgomery <bob.montgomery at hp.com> for the suggestion.
(closes: 409995)
initramfs-tools (0.85g) unstable; urgency=high
* SECURITY scripts/functions: Set permission of created root dev in
parse_numeric() to 600. This bug only affects lilo boots. Thanks
Fabian Pietsch <fabian at canvon.dyndns.org> and Goswin von Brederlow
<brederlo at informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> for patch input. (closes: 417995)
* debian/control: Change Uploaders email.
initramfs-tools (0.85f) unstable; urgency=high
Release "Au lieu d'aller voter Casse leur la margoulette"
* update-initramfs: Grub _doesn't_ clear LILO string in mbr, but the inverse
is done. Fix mbr_check() to first check for GRUB. Fixes accidental lilo
call in the case that Grub is the used bootloader. (closes: 409820)
Thanks Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org> for bringing up the case.
* initramfs.conf.5, mkinitramfs.5: Fix typos. Document version.
(closes: 405157, 405190, 405194)
* update-initramfs: Be more screamy about lilo error, people seem to
overlook recent lilo failures.
* scripts/init-top/framebuffer: Remove unused variables.
* init: Export ROOTDELAY to let udev boot script handle eventual rootdelay.
