Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


initramfs-tools: initramfs creates an initrd with not enough modules causing an 
unbootable system

Initially I thought this was a bug in kernel-package so I wrote this to the 
maintainer of that package:
        I now upgraded initramfstools (shouldn't
        kernel-package have dependencies?) and an initrd is created.
        The initrd is not good though: the system won't come up. Complains that
        it can't find the volume groups. It does see a /dev/sda* though. Was an
        initramfs shell so I couldn't investigate what was going on.

According to the kernel-package maintainer this is a problem in initramfs-tools.
