I agree.

It occurs to me only now to look and bugs.debian.org and:
        https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707641

Looking at the initramfs scripts provided by cryptsetup I'm not seeing
any param.conf handing, but I am seeing some /proc/cmdline scrobbling. I
wonder if the bug is not using the $ROOT provided by the initramfs core
and instead poking into /proc/cmdline?

Ian.
