to boot with error messages indicating that a few files cannot be found.

initrd-tools - tools to create initrd image for prepackaged Linux kernel

Changes:
initrd-tools (0.1.81) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Revert changes to root device handling in 0.1.80 (bugs #307471 and

are not appropriate for the freeze), and introduced a new RC bug.
Closes: #310316.
