Bug#1010978: live-boot breaks some upgrades
Package: live-boot
Version: 1:20220505
Upgrade of live-boot fails in systems that do not have the usrmerge symlinks.
apt upgrade ends with the following:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.17.0-1-amd64
W: No zstd in /usr/bin:/sbin:/bin, using gzip
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/adlp_dmc_ver2_14.bin for
module i915
live-boot: core filesystems dm-verityE:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.17.0-1-amd64 with 1.
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Suggested fix (not tested):
/usr/bin/mount is currently hard-coded in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-boot/-/blob/master/backend/initramfs-tools/live.hook
Maybe change line #148 from this:
copy_exec /usr/bin/mount /bin
To this:
copy_exec "$(command -v mount)" /bin
