Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading the packages on my system it failed to boot because
initramfs couldn't find the rootfs. The
/dev/disk/ directory was missing. I then noticed udevadm failed with
a socket error that an address family wasn't
found.
Comparing the old and new initramfs image I noticed that the module
"unix" wasn't included in the /conf/modules
file anymore.
I have manually added unix to /etc/initramfs-tool/modules file to get
the system to boot.

modular unix isn't supported. Fix the .config of you linux images.
Official Debian linux images have had unix built in since ages.
