[Bug 1988418] Re: Please merge initramfs-tools 0.142 from Debian unstable.

[Dave Jones]

I would caution that there are some substantial changes in this merge.
Specifically:

* upstream has now moved to zstd by default (as in Ubuntu) resulting in
several bits of the delta changing

* upstream re-wrote a fair amount of logic around the "ip=" init
parameter; this is an area we already had a substantial delta which also
needed re-writing as a result

* upstream also added configuration for the compression level of the
initramfs which required our delta to change

Please do not attempt to review the debdiff; at nearly 300KB it would be
pointless. The git range-diff is far more informative, but may need a
larger --creation-factor to make the most of it (100 is a reasonable
choice).
