I have a non-multipath test setup of open-iscsi that works well
and I even recently upgraded to unstable before I closed the
RC bug I had open to prevent open-iscsi from migrating to testing
to verify that everything works as expected.

It's in your log. And it's a critical prompt, so unless you
explicitly use something that dramatically suppresses debconf
prompts it should be shown.

Are you sure it's multipath-tools?

Do you have an image I could try with some instructions on what
LIO configuration you are using? Maybe I could help debug your
issue...

Also: what exactly broke? Your bug doesn't actually specify
what's wrong, beyond the fact that update-initramfs complains
about iscsistart.

Btw. just now I noticed in your log that open-iscsi -13 was
actually installed on your system and still the update-initramfs
error came. Had you perhaps installed an older test package with
-13 that didn't have the fix for the /sbin/iscsistart? It would
be great to see the rest of your log to see what really happened.

Regards,
Christian
