The reason why it fails on Lucid is that those line are placed BEFORE
the $rootmnt gets mounted as opposed to AFTER the mount for the other
distro.

It is like that because Lucid runs an older version of the package
(1:2.0.1-1) compared to 1:2.0.1-2 for maverick and natty and 1:2.0.2-1
for Oneiric.

What I have done is to have the kdump.initramfs for Lucid be identical
to the ones of the other versions (merely move those lines near the
end), recreated the debdiff and rebuilt a test package with it. It now
works correctly on Lucid too. But I'm questioning the validity of those
steps : shouldn't we just provide 1:2.0.1-2 on Lucid just like for
maverick and Natty ?

If not, then I have the debdiff ready for upload so a respin of the
lucid-proposed can be done.

Just let me know
