This is a useful workaround, the fundamental issue is a coreutils issue
with dd. I wonder if the coreutils maintainers can figure out why dd has
an executable stack.

When I try to revert to a previous state from the grub menu, the boot
fails. The system drops me to a repair modus.
zfs-mount-generator fails with the message:
couldn't ensure boot: Mounted clone bootFS dataset created by initramfs
doesn't have a valid _suffix (at least .*_<onechar>): \"rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_\"".
After a reboot I have an extra clone called "rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_", indeed
without a suffix.

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs at the end in function

}
fixes the problem.
