Bug#668616: workaround by reverting /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions to 0.99
I copied /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions from a machine which had not been updated and
this allowed update-initramfs to build a new, bootable ramdisk.
Note For Googlers: I believe that the closed bug 659948 is a duplicate of this one, and it suggests
"ln -s / /rootfs" as a workaround. This allows update-initramfs to complete, but the resultant
ramdisk is not bootable - it doesn't refer to a real root file system.
