OK, I'm thinking about the attached patch to fix this issue.
The initial answer on the unblock bug was quite negative about
splitting the package (this could still be done in next (Stretch))
release. This patch is less invasive and has higher chances of being
accepted.
The only issue of not having the label.so file installed in the
initramfs is the fact that some text might not be displayed (according
to upstream).
What do you think?
