Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.130 Dear Maintainer,
I was using initramfs-tools with dropbear-initramfs on stretch and discovered that configure_networking would always set up DHCP on the wrong network interface, even if DEVICE= was set in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf. (It would try both, succeed on the faster-responding DHCP server for the interface I didn't want, then give up on the other.) I tracked this down to a lack of `export DEVICE=` in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, causing DEVICE to be unset in configure_networking. I have attached a patch. I tested it on stretch and confirmed that a DEVICE= in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf set up DHCP on the corresponding interface. Thanks, Ivan
