Bug#775583: New initramfs-tools boot script needed to activate VG needed only for /usr

I would like to add that my setup uses UUID, for a long time, and LVM works
with this (1), at least for /
But for a separated /usr, it do not work anymore :( I get an emergency
console and have to manually active my usr LV.

(1) ie, in /etc/fstab :
UUID=...   /        ext4 ...
UUID=...  /boot   ext4 ...
UUID=...   /usr     ext4 ...
UUID=...  /var     ext4 ...
