Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91d
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I fought with initramfs-tools for some time because I had not noticed
the warning in the man page that script names must match
[a-zA-Z0-9_]+. (I admit I don't read entire man pages when I just need
to quickly check how to do something.)

So I had a script named
/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/tuxonice-resume, and had
to scratch my head for a while when it was silently ignored by the
initrd creation process (I think even -v didn't say anything about
it).

I don't know if there's another purpose for the restriction besides
ignoring backup files, but perhaps at least emitting a warning when
ignoring a script which doesn't match a known backup file pattern
(i.e. something like *~ and *.bak) would spare some time for others
who have yet to hit this issue without, I hope, being too invasive.

Regards,

	Sami
