Please unblock package dracut The version 044+241-2 contains only the patch to fix bug #855370. The bug is about the problem that the dracut-module "aufs" included in the Debian package only works if the the aufs is in the module path of the modules included directly in the kernel. Since the aufs-module has been removed from the kernel package and is provided by the DKMS-package "aufs-dkms" the check() function of the dracut-module have to check the old path and the installation path of DKMS. Since the aufs-feature of dracut is very useful for read-only NFS-roots that are mounted with a tmpfs as aufs-overlay, it is very desirable to include the patch in stretch. Otherwise many setups that use this NFS read-only/tmpfs-setup will fail and this setup are not untypical for FAI or clusters. unblock dracut/044+241-2
