Bug#616581: initramfs-tools: USB keyboard not available with init=/bin/sh
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.8
Severity: important
Can't use an USB keyboard when I boot with init=/bin/sh.
Kind of defeats the purpose of this option.
This is on a freshly bootstrapped system with no changes to the default options.
