Done: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/1014 > However you > might also want to note that blkid is in deep maintenance mode as it > has been superseeded by the more easily extendable lsblk utility. > Maybe it would thus be better to consider reporting this as a wishlist > bug against initramfs-tools (and consider its current usage of blkid > as an implementation detail that possibly could be changed to fix this). I don't think I'd consider this bug to be an initramfs-tools bug, but if blkid is considered somewhat deprecated in favor of lsblk, it certainly seems reasonable for initramfs-tools to consider switching. - Josh Triplett
