Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.8
Severity: normal

Initramfs created by mkinitramfs just doesn't work when it was created
as a non-root user. I guess it's an issue with setting permissions or
something like that. At least mkinitramfs could fail loudly if it's not
meant to be run as a regular user.

no error provided, command is meant to be also run as normal user
thus assertion by report is invalid, closing.
