(full original message kept for d-boot) Thanks very much for your message Mike. I've decided, based on your report, to ask RM to hint initramfs-tools 0.53c for testing early and wait for that for Beta2. To be honest, I was aware of the issue and had planned to check if testing was affected, but it slipped my mind. This really should be fixed before the release.
