Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.114
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
1. I was building new kernel-/initram-images when trying to solve
scrambled/unreadable early boot messages. I tried all available compression
rates in initramfs.conf.
2. I eventually discovered that there was a flaw in the mkinitramfs-script. (I
compared the script with the mkinitramfs-script on my older i386-pc).
In section 353-363 of the script there is a ' gzip >>' instruction and a
'compress >>' instruction.
I changed that to 'gzip >' and 'compress >' , similar to the i386-script, and
after that update-initramfs did its job again as expected.

Greetings
J. Outhuis

This is not a bug; see #712521.
