How does your patch deal with the situation where you have an affected wheezy system, you add jessie repos, then you do a partial upgrade (which is supposed to be supported in Debian) of just some package (not including util-linux) that runs update-initramfs? I bet you get the very same problem as before. This is just one example out of several problems I see with your NMU.
