Bug#591016: flash-kernel: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/flash_kernel_set_root mis-detects root filesystems for systems using ubifs

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>]

Package: flash-kernel
Version: 2.32
Severity: normal

When using an armel system with the root filesystem on ubifs,
update-initramfs spews this error message:

Warning: /etc/fstab parse error; guessing that the root device is /dev/sda2

it appears to be due to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/flash_kernel_set_root

(i'm doing this on a guruplug, but filing the report from my laptop).

There are recent changes in initramfs-tools to accommodate root
filesystems on ubifs.  flash-kernel should inherit these changes if
possible, especially since ubifs is likely to be correlated with the
presence of the flash-kernel package.
