Just to add another data point, I ran into the same problem.
Booting stops with
ALERT! /dev/mapper/vgsys-sid--usr does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
In busybox I can fix the problem by activating the volume groups:
(initramfs) vgchange -a y
30 logical volume(s) in volumgroup vgsys now active
Hitting Ctrl-D afterwards resumes the boot. For some odd reason, it
notices that /usr has been mounted 922 times without being checked and
forces the fsck. I never checked (nor do I really care, /usr can be
recovered from ftp.debian.org).
The version of initramfs-tools on my system is 0.117 as well. I would
consider this as serious since that system booted just fine since its
installation in 2009, not counting the systemd transition which made it
unbootable two times.
I attached the trace.log from running mkinitramfs.
I suspect this is essentially the same bug as #616689 and #678696,
except that now it may affect mounting /usr as well as /.
I hope to fix it with changes along the lines of those proposed in
#678696, but more work is required to complete the implementation.
