Bug#762768: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: update-initramfs(8) and --help show "-b" as argument-less
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.116
Severity: minor
File: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
Both the update-initramfs(8) manpage and "update-initramfs --help" show
the "-b" option without any argument, while it does require one.
(On a similar note, --help seems to imply that for the "-k" option, the
version argument is optional.)
