Bug#315715: initrd-tools: Arguments to find given in deprecated order, causing warning



Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.81.1
Severity: minor


There seems to be a change in the newest find-utils (my version is
4.2.22-1) which issues a warning when option arguments are given after
non-option arguments to find. This causes these four warnings from
mkinitrd:

  kokosbolle ~ # mkinitrd -o foo
  find: warning: you have specified the -mindepth option after a
  non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-mindepth
  affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after
  it).  Please specify options before other arguments.

  [ Three similar warnings omitted ]

The following patch seems to remove all four warnings:
