Title:
  dropbear DEVICE variable is ignored when sourced from conf.d

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) this is what "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init" does:
  ```
  . /conf/initramfs.conf
  for conf in conf/conf.d/*; do
   [ -f ${conf} ] && . ${conf}
  done
  . /scripts/functions
  ```

  2) this is  what "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/dropbear" does:
  ```
  . /scripts/functions
  . /conf/initramfs.conf
  configure_networking &
  ```

  3) bug result: ```configure_networking ``` will not find a  $DEVICE variable
  if the $DEVICE variable is overriden from some ```/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/user-file```

  4) I would hope this be somehow enforced for all scripts?
