If you do it the other way around, you have the same problem in
reverse...

May as well just workaround the issue in a backwards-compatible way, by
including both stanzas. Otherwise, if the bug is ever fixed, you'll have
to reverse the workarounds.


I'll try to find the time to work on a patch to fix this in the
nbd-client initramfs scripts, but I'm not sure when that will be, so
please, someone beat me to it.
