This bug prevents installation of new kernel packages.

It's easy to workaround on an already installed system, with something like:

 sed -i "s/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.2/"
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions

But we can't install new systems as we can't patch the script before it
is used and the installation failed at 83% (on m68k) during the
installation of linux-image-5.6.0-1-m68k package (when it build the
initramfs).

Do you have any solution to install a new system while this bug is not
fixed?

Thanks,
Laurent
