Public bug reported:

grep as implemented in busybox and used in initramfs does not support -w
option that's used in the script.

I saw it passing randomly on the screen a couple of times during the
boot.

./grep -w
./grep: invalid option -- w
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu2) multi-call binary

Usage: grep [-ihHnqvsEABC] PATTERN [FILEs...]

Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.

[SNIP]

** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
