Bug#640789: Bug still not fixed in hd-media installation media (wheezy, jessie and sid)

[Sander Eikelenboom <linux@eikelenboom.it>]

Hi,

I just stumbled over this bug as it is still not fixed in the hd-media initrd.gz.

I have tried wheezy, jessie and sid, manually patching initrd.gz (with the patch 
mentioned by Chris Tillman) made everything working again.

I suppose a lot of users can hit this bug, since a space in any path on any mountable
FS will cause this bug to trigger on installation and the error and error message
are rather cryptic.

Since the fix is already known for quite some time, limited in scope and very 
obviously correct, *please* fix this ASAP in all the installation media, this
could very well hinder Debian adoption since installation fails early for no apparent 
reason. 

Thanks,

Sander
