Bug Description
Binary package hint: busybox-initramfs
The ubuntu package does not include wc that is part of the debian package and it is used in live-initramfs boot scripts.
Without wc an Ubuntu system using live-initramfs fails to boot.
live-initramfs has much more features than casper and may be used in specific environments where casper does not provide enough functionality.
