Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.83
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
update-initramfs checks /proc/mounts for a read-only /boot but the check
does not take into account the possibility of some other ro mount (NFS,
for example) having the string "boot" in its name.
Here's a small patch that attempts to fix the problem:
