Title:
[public] initramfs-tools has issue with rootdev-by-UUID

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Quantal:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Installing a test kernel deb failed on a system, see error below. I'm
guessing this is related to the new dependency flash-kernel has on
linux-base, since linux-base from Debian switches the /etc/fstab file
to use UUID= mounting, and update-initramfs is having problems
identify the blockdev for /. Hacking /etc/mtab to use /dev/sda3
instead of the UUID=<foo> reference works as a volatile workaround.
