A new dracut version 060+5-1 will be available soon.
060+5 is the same as 059+212 because upstream changed its release process.

Just commenting out the file and regenerating did seem to make the initrd,
but it just hung for so-long-I-thought-it's-forever before going into a
minutes-long initqueue crashloop before finally dropping to
an emergency shell.

This revealed it didn't actually generate a sysroot.mount unit at all!

Though running
  mount -t nfs4 tarta:/mnt/filling/machine/1200-S121 /sysroot
corresponding to the
  ip=dhcp root=nfs4:tarta:/mnt/filling/machine/1200-S121
cmdline did work.

As usual with dracut,
breaking out of the shell after mounting /sysroot proceeded normally.

Whether it's the ifcfg thing or not (probably not),
the nfs netboot generator doesn't work anymore.

Attaching journalctl -b from the emergency shell.

Best,

I guess I can fix this by adding

remove-on-upgrade /etc/dracut.conf.d/11-ifcfg.conf
to debian/dracut-network.conffiles

Package: dracut-network
Version: 059+212-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

  # cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/11-ifcfg.conf
  add_dracutmodules+=" ifcfg "
  # dpkg -L dracut-network | grep ifcfg
  /etc/dracut.conf.d/11-ifcfg.conf
  # dracut -q --kver 6.5.0-5-686
  dracut[E]: Module 'ifcfg' cannot be found.
which naturally breaks upgrades.

Compare

This is unnoted both in the NEWS and the changelog,
so it's obviously a bug.

Not tagging grave because presumably it works on.. ppc?
All the more baffling since this is arch:all.
