Looks like /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/multipath is
missing the PREREQ/prereqs header (see e.g. initramfs-tools(8)), so
set this up (so the script works also outside the initramfs) and
*then* use ". /scripts/functions".

Guy,

I have prepared a deb package with the fix based on feedback from Michael. Do you have resources to test this?
