Title:
  initramfs-tools hook-functions error causes failure

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions contains what appears to be a variable name update (from root to dev_node) error.
  It appears that one instance of root was not updated correctly; this causes mkinitramfs to fail with the error:

  mkinitramfs: for device /dev/vda1 missing vda1 /sys/block/ entry
  mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
  mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug

  A trivial patch that appears to resolve this is attached.
