Title:
  fixrtc prefers root=/dev/ram over systempart= if the latter is set

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools-ubuntu-touch package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  when both, root= and systempart= are set on the cmdline (specifically
  if root= points to /dev/ram) the root= parameter will always be
  preferred. for an immediate solution there was a fix uploaded in
  initramfs-tools to make root=/dev/ram ignored when systempart= is set
  in 0.103ubuntu15.

  while this helps in the specific case of phones that hardcode
  root=/dev/ram on their kernel commandline, we need to consider if it
  makes sense to always ignore root= if systempart is set or if there is
  any sane combination of systempart= and root= that would require us to
  keep root=.
