Dear Maintainer,

I used the Jessie DVD installer on a system with an NVMe SSD add-in-card (PCIe) that I wanted to make bootable, but there were two problems that halted the process:
1. In the install-the-base-system step, the initial ram disk creation step failed because it couldn't translate the nvme device name (nvme0n1p3) to the drive name (nvme0n1). This appears to be a new naming scheme, where "p[0-9]" refers the partition number.
2. In the boot loader installation step, the grub-installer script again couldn't translate nvme0n1p3 to nvme0n1.
I'm making a separate bug for the grub-installer, so I'll only include the initramfs-tools patch here:
