[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#834830: open-iscsi-udeb: initramfs is not regenerated at end of installation, leaving GenerateName= in initiatorname.iscsi

[Christian Seiler]

Package: open-iscsi-udeb
Version: 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-8
Severity: serious
Justification: installs with iSCSI rootfs unbootable by default
Tags: confirmed jessie

This was reported on debian-user, and I've been able to reproduce
that in a local test environment in a VM.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/08/msg00689.html

In a default install, the initramfs contains an initiatorname.iscsi
with the contents GenerateName=yes, instead of an actually generated
name.

This is due to the fact that the d-i variant of initiatorname.iscsi
(that does contain a valid name) is only copied to the system at the
very end, and the initramfs is not regenerated.

This does not affect Stretch/sid, as we generate an initiator name
in postinst now.

Christian
