Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: normal

Hi,

The break=init boot option does not work, because the init script
unsets the break variable while cleaning the environment before
testing it:

[...]
unset break
[...]
maybe_break init
[...]

This is probably easy to fix by moving the maybe-break command
before the unset block.

Thanks,
Feri.

this is fixed since longer in testing/unstable.

anyway for stable it was more important to no leak this beak number
of environment variables to init and thus to several others.
this debug facily is a goodie and won't be updated for stable.
all other breaks are working anyway.

anyway thanks for report.
