Bug#310395: initrd-tools: outfile option -o can not handle relative file declaration

[Markus Kolb <debian-mkolb@tower-net.de>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.80
Severity: important

I've called mkinitrd -o initrd.img in /boot directory and no initrd.img
is created there.
I've seen with mkinitrd -k ... that the image file is created in the
mkinitrd working directory /tmp/mkinitrd.../initrd/
With absolut outfile definition -o /boot/initrd.img everything seems to
be fine.
