Comment 46 for bug 415353

Thank you for confirming Michael.

Given the facts that the issue is not fatal (quite annoying I agree), the proper fixes that are upstream were too invasive, the backport that tries to address it is not too well tested and may introduce other problems, and (last but not least) it is possible to manually work around the issue, I would rather not touch the module loading code.

Not sure whether picking up the change from Debian for initramfs-tools would be acceptable. But usually the older a release the more critical an issue has to be to make changes. So I guess this may be a case where some sort of documentation of the problem and work-around would be preferred option.
