retitle 523735 thanks The BTS contains patches fixing 12 bugs. The prepend tag is defined as "A solution to this bug has been found and an upload will be made soon.". I don't know if you would define "5 months and counting" as "soon", I wouldn't at least not in that context.
An alternative "fix" would be to open an wishlist bug on kernel-package
to add a check if an initrd was generated, and trigger initramfs-tools
if it wasn't but was build with --initrd, or just remove the option
entirely. Which properly more likely to trigger an NMU than getting
implemented.
I have requested the title to changed to present this bug correctly
I think a new initramfs-tools upload is long overdue.
