Since I'm not using JFS and had similar symptoms, it's probably not only
related to JFS modules. You could say in the bug report that systems
eventually become unable to boot because of modules missing from
initramfs. IIRC, there has been an update of mkinitramfs or
update-initramfs a while ago in Testing --- that was after I found
myself unable to boot my kernel. I don't know whether this updated is
related at all, though.
