Package: util-linux
Version: 2.16.1-3
Severity: minor

I encountered the following warning while writing my own initramfs hook:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/util-linux ignored: not alphanumeric or '_' 
file

Apparently the initramfs hook processing code does not like filenames with 
hyphens in them. Easiest fix is to just remove the dash or replace it with an 
underscore.


You can test/reproduce by issuing
$ /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -vo /dev/null $(uname -r)
