Thanks to all for your help tracking this down. I've found the problem.
It was indeed related to the fact that the new version of initramfs-tools runs 
the hook scripts under errexit.

If the very last file that iscan's hook script checks for in DESTDIR doesn't 
exist, the `test -e` call fails and the script ends with a failed status even 
though nothing really went wrong. A simple `exit 0` on the last line fixes this.

I'll try to get a fixed version of iscan-data out as soon as I can.

Thanks again.

Happy scanning,
