Comment 1 for bug 1988418

Attaching patch against Debian unstable. For ease of review, relevant commits
and tags have been pushed to the following repository:

https://code.launchpad.net/~waveform/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+git/initramfs-tools

Specifically:

* logical/0.140ubuntu17 represents our split-out delta on top of old/debian (0.140)
* logical/0.142ubuntu1 represents our rebased delta on top of new/debian (0.142)
* merge/0.142ubuntu1 adds changelog and maintainer changes, and one post-merge change on top of logical/0.142ubuntu1

Hence, the following command may produce output useful to the purposes of review:

git range-diff old/debian..logical/0.140ubuntu17 new/debian..logical/0.142ubuntu1
