Bug#358632: initramfs-tools: Lacks a dependency on module-init-tools



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.53c
Severity: normal

When finding the dependencies of the modules listed in
/etc/mkinitramfs/modules, the mkinitramfs script uses modprobe with the
--show-depends option, but this option is provided by the modprobe from
the module-init-tools package, but not the older modutils package.

Moreover the actual call to modprobe in manual_add_modules in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions includes a "2>/dev/null" so
the user never sees the error, and doesn't know that no modules have
been copied into the cpio archive.
