Public bug reported:

The /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions contains what appears to be a 
variable name update (from root to dev_node) error.
It appears that one instance of root was not updated correctly; this causes 
mkinitramfs to fail with the error:

mkinitramfs: for device /dev/vda1 missing vda1 /sys/block/ entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug

A trivial patch that appears to resolve this is attached.
