Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85e
Tag: patch
mkinitramfs creates a broken initrd, when accidentally the MODULES parameter is wrong in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
This can create major problems, and it's not so easy to find the source of this problem
Compared to this, it's very easy to add the attached patch, which makes mkinitramfs check if the MODULES setting is useable and will not lead to an unusable initrd.

Changes: 
 initramfs-tools (0.89) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   Release "L'électeur c'est notoire N'a pas tout' sa raison"
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * mkinitramfs: Include libgcc_s.so.1 on arm since glibc always tries to load
     it for the SJLJ exception handling on that architecture. (closes: #426395)
     Thanks to Aurelien Jarno for ack and review.
 .
   [ maximilian attems ]
   * initramfs.conf.5: Document ROOT hardcoding.
   * scripts/local: Use simpler fstype invocation.
   * initramfs-tools.8, initramfs.conf.5: Fix typos. (closes: #427837, #427838)
     Thanks "A. Costa" <agcosta@gis.net> for the patch.
   * scripts/local: Try to warn for renamed root dev. (closes: #374611)
   * minitramfs: Fall back to bootable default MODULES=most if unsupported
     MODULES setting is passed. Thanks Henning Sprang <henning_sprang@gmx.de>
     for report. (closes: #429144)
   * hook-functions: Fix variable typo. Thanks Emanuele Rocca <ema@debian.org>.
   * scripts/local: Revert change to use udev vol_id before fstype,
     there are too many "wrongly" formated fs out there. fstype supports less,
     but is more robust.
