I do not know exactly when this was resolved, but the regexps in
question now include ".".

Title:
  No dots in script filenames?

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  Hi,

  Files placed in the scripts directory can no longer have a dot in
  their names (i.e. no script.sh files in there). This worked in Hardy.
  Is there a reason for this?

  A friend pasted me this patch, but I think it may need more than just
  the dot in the expression (spacing may be badly messed up):

  Hardy didn't seem to use regular expressions at all.

  I think a bug report like LP:78348 that prompted such a change, but I
  can't see anything specific to this change in the changelog.
