mandos-client fails to install gpg-agent into intiramfs

mandos-client:

mandos-client is able to fetch password from server in running system, but fails in initrams with error

Mandos plugin mandos-client: bad gpgme_op_decrypt: GnuPG: No secret key

The reason why mandos-client is not working is that initramfs is missing the gpg-agent binary.

The reason why gpg-agent binary is not copied to initramfs is that the package libgpgme11 has been renamed to libgpgme11t64.

The fix is:
# diff /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos.orig /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mandos
183c183
< libgpgme11_version="`dpkg-query --showformat='${Version}' --show libgpgme11`"
---
> libgpgme11_version="`dpkg-query --showformat='${Version}' --show libgpgme11t64`"

As I think creation of intiramfs is part of the distro I address this here.
Please let me know when I am wrong.

Kind regards
