Control: severity -1 serious
Hello Marco,
you brought this bug up on #debian-arm. It was there discovered,
that the current implementation is broken on multiarch systems, for
example amd64 + i386, which seems popular.
On such installs, users can end up with the wrong liblzma.so.5.x.y in
the initramfs.

Instead of doing workarounds, the probably *best* way is to
interpolate $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) at build-time of the kmod debian
package into debian/kmod.initramfs-hook.
So that this:
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5
becomes during build time:
copy_exec /usr/lib/amd64-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5
Including /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk in d/rules should make
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH available.
I hope this is enough info for you to figure out the nitty gritty
details.
Best,
Chris
