Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97
Severity: important

As discussed yesterday on IRC #debian-kernel:

It would be better if the check in function ro_boot_check() was skipped if
/proc/mounts  is not readable.

Using /proc/mounts fails in chroot setups. The simmilar info should be
avalable in /etc/mtab but again /etc/mtab may not exist.

Regards
Alex Owen
