Bug Description

In lvm2 2.03.11-2ubuntu1, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2 is not an executable.

$ dpkg-deb -c lvm2_2.03.11-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb | grep /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2
-rw-r--r-- root/root 691 2021-02-08 23:25 ./usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2

Systems whose root filesystem is on LVM will be unable to boot, because /sbin/lvm is not included in initramfs.

I confirm my installation using luks + lvm is unable to boot due to the missing lvm binary in the initramfs.

To fix a non-booting system:
- Boot from live-linux
- Mount all file systems of installation to /mnt/ (this depends on your setup)
- chroot /mnt/
- chmod 766 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2
- update-initramfs -c -k all
- reboot
