Public bug reported:
Since initramfs-tools-0.99ubuntu5 is working out of the box, but:
compcache is not working if COMPCACHE_SIZE, in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf contains whitespaces.
While instructions in same file instructs to do exactly that.
Elimination whitespaces solves the problem.
I recommend updating as following:
