Bug#855399: debian-installer: EXTRAFILES copies all parent directories and does not copy directories
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20170127
Severity: normal
Adding 'EXTRAFILES = ~/foo/bar/baz' to config/local resulted in
/home/tshepang/foo/bar directory initrd.
Also, if 'baz' is a directory, it did not get copied.
