Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Hi,
Files placed in the scripts directory can no longer have a dot in their
names (i.e. no script.sh files in there). This worked in Hardy. Is there
a reason for this?
A friend pasted me this patch, but I think it may need more than just
the dot in the expression (spacing may be badly messed up):
