Because I don't have any more. ;) Booting with 0.87b works fine and
as soon as I run:

dpkg -i initramfs-tools_0.88_all.deb
update-initramfs -c -t -k $(uname -r)
reboot

the system fails to boot. When booting via grml live-cd, downgrading
to initramfs-tools_0.87b_all.deb, running update-initramfs and
rebooting again the system boots without any problems.

Does not work as the affected system can't boot at all with the
setup that does not work. ;)

So regarding /usr/share/bug/initramfs-tools/script:

* The difference in /proc/cmdline is just the root=UUID=... stuff,
  no further magic (don't have the full line by hand now).
* Regarding /proc/filesystems: the kernel talks ext3 (the filesystem
  used on /).
* lsmod output should be irrelevant and I don't have it by hand
* cat /etc/kernel-img.conf ->

# Kernel Image management overrides
# See kernel-img.conf(5) for details
do_symlinks = Yes

> you are not using MODULES=dep by chance?

# sed 's/#.*$//;/^[[:space:]]*$/d' /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
MODULES=most
BUSYBOX=y
KEYMAP=n
BOOT=local
DEVICE=eth0
NFSROOT=auto
