Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

ldd fails due to unbound variable named "unused" when run from scripts where "set -u" is used. This in turn makes update-initramfs silently generate truncated initrd's which refuse to boot properly due to missing "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*".

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

We created a small patch for /usr/bin/ldd:

 while test $# -gt 0; do
   case "$1" in

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Applying the patch solved our immediate issue but we think the fix should be permanently added in Debian.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

N/A
