Let me clarify why I'm un-marking this as duplicate of #1573095. This LP bug is indeed a duplicate of #1573095, but we have a lot of noise there, and potentially multiple different issues reported. The main one is the wrong ttySX causing the infinite loop in initramfs-tools due to error on write.
Hence, I'll use this LP to do the SRU for Ubuntu initramfs-tools. Also, worth notice that we have Debian bugs reported [0] and a Merge Request in Debian Salsa [1], both ignored by the Debian maintainer for 6 weeks. So, we'll go with Ubuntu fix for now, and hopefully Debian will merge that in the future.
