Title:
  nfs root script breaks with absolute /sbin/init symlinks

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The initramfs boot script try to mount the root filesystem into /root
  and look for a /sbin/init file inside that folder. systemd installs
  /sbin/init as a link to /lib/systemd/systemd, which the initramfs
  scripts can't find (because the link is an absolute path and the root
  is mounted under /root).

  Making that link a relative path fixes the problem (i.e. making it
  ../lib/systemd/systemd).

  Please, see /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs for the affected
  script.

  
  I believe this should be fixed before the release of 15.04, as it breaks all nfs root installs.
