[Test Case] * Run the autopkgtest suite in the initramfs-tools package and observe the failure aforementioned. [Regression Potential] * Extremely low potential, we are just introducing a partition re-read/probe operation during autopkgtest phase, in order to keep the partition table of loop devices consistent before the test uses it. * The only potential issue I see with that is if for some reason we don't have partprobe in the autopkgtest environment, but that shouldn't happen since parted package is on ubuntu-standard. * Notice that this test is not executed in Debian CI given that CI has no support for VMs, and this test requires that.
