Package: initramfs-tools

Dear Maintainer,
If MODULES=dep is used to trim generated initramfs on Raspberry Pi 4, it
results in unbootable initramfs generated if user boots from USB-connected
external drive (rather than microSD).
In particular, system is unable to find rootfs and after a brief delay bails
out to shell prompt.
In order to make it work, reset_raspberrypi module has to be included. This is
the case with MODULES=most, and precise reason why only MODULES=dep is
affected. For MODULES=dep scenarios, reset_raspberrypi has to be manually added
to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.

I opened
<https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/158>
in an attempt to fix this.
If you're able to test the packages from
<https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/jobs/7184963/artifacts/browse/debian/output/>
can you verify that they fix the problem for you?
Ben.
