    filename /run/initramfs/overlayroot.XXXXXX to 
    /run/initramfs/overlayroot.passwd (LP: #1641678).

Title:
  rename password file to consistent name

Status in cloud-initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-initramfs-tools source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed
Status in cloud-initramfs-tools source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When overlayroot is used with config of:
    overlayroot=crypt:dev=/dev/vdc,debug=1,mkfs=1

  Then the password that is used for the mount is recorded to
  a file in in /run/initramfs (or /dev/.initramfs on older initramfs-tools).
  The file name is currently:
     overlayroot.XXXXXX
  where the 'XXXXXX' is random as it is the result of
     mktemp overlayroot.XXXXXX

  There doesn't seem to be any value in  having that filename be random.
  Some things to note:
   a.) file is on a tmpfs (initially created in the initramfs and then moved with the pivot)
   b.) file does (and should) have root:root permissions and 0600

  It seems a general better idea to  make that
  /run/initramfs/overlayroot.passwd
