Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85e
Tag: patch
mkinitramfs creates a broken initrd, when accidentally the MODULES
parameter is wrong in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
This can create major problems, and it's not so easy to find the source
of this problem
Compared to this, it's very easy to add the attached patch, which makes
mkinitramfs check if the MODULES setting is useable and will not lead to
an unusable initrd.
