Bug#1014662: cloud-initramfs-growroot: Initramfs hook does not include `flock` command

thanks

I can reproduce this as well.

I have a packer setup which takes a Hetzner cx11 instance (the smallest
available size), upgrades it to bookworm, installs some extra packages,
and then takes a snapshot.

This used to work before I added the "upgrades it to bookworm" part.

Now it does not work, and as a result, the images only work ok
if I create an instance of the same size that was used to create
the image.

I've converted the above hint into a patch.

(using /usr/bin/flock as the path as that's what dpkg -L util-linux
reports as the canonical location)

Please consider applying the patch before the hard freeze. The package
is not very useful in its current state.

Thanks.
