Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97.2
Severity: normal
Hi,
for testing purposes, I installed the upstart binary as /sbin/upstart and
created a symlink /sbin/init → /sbin/upstart
This causes a boot failure, due to this check in /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/init
# Check init bootarg
if [ -n "${init}" ] && [ ! -x "${rootmnt}${init}" ]; then
echo "Target filesystem doesn't have ${init}."
init=
fi
To quote Mithrandir (from irc):
<Mithrandir> -x follows symlinks
<Mithrandir> but that means it'll look for symlinks in the initramfs, so the
check is buggy.

You shouldn't use an absolut symlink here, use a relative one instead.
See Debian policy 10.5 for details.
Closing this bugreport as i-t works as intended.
