The issue seems to be in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dropbear,
which contains this line:
cp /lib/libnss_* "${DESTDIR}/lib/"
The path to libnss_files seems to have changed, I think due to
multiarch. If you change the line to (assuming you are using a 64-bit
ubuntu):
cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_* "${DESTDIR}/lib/"
Then you should be able to log into dropbear in the initramfs again.
This doesn't make remote unlocking work perfectly however, as apparently
there's some interaction between plymouth and the script that takes the
passphrase on the console that breaks things. There's a workaround for
that particular problem at:
