Bug#284141: initrd-tools: no SCSI should not be a fatal error



Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal

mkinitrd contains the lines:

        8 | 11)
                if [ ! -d /proc/scsi ]; then
                        echo "$PROG: Cannot determine SCSI module" >&2
                        exit 1
                fi

This makes it impossible to upgrade from a custom kernel with no SCSI
support to a standard Debian kernel.  It would be better if mkinitrd
instead left out all SCSI modules when /proc/scsi was missing.
