Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: normal
Adding break=init to the command line to get a shell just before
run-init is run does not work. This is because the enviornment variable
"break" is unset on line 217 of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, but
maybe_break init is called on line 226.
Either the "unset break" line could be uncommented, moved below
maybe_break (if you don't want it to leak to init), or maybe_break moved
above all of the unset's.

fixed in newer initramfs-tools, thus closing.
thanks for your report.
