Bug#335505: initramfs-tools: initramfs/conf/modules contains the list of current directory

[Jean Charles Delepine]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.32
Severity: important
Tags: patch

In /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kernelextras man can see :

for x in ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/*; do
        x=${x##*/}
        x=${x%.*}
        case ${x} in
        *fb)
                fbcon=y
                ;;
        esac

        force_load ${x}
done

if ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/ doesn't exist x=${x##*/} and x=${x%.*} are '*'. 
You sure don't want to force_load your current directory.

Here's a quick and dirty patch :
