Merge lp:~noorez-kassam/ubuntu/trusty/initramfs-tools/fix-for-1317437 into lp:ubuntu/trusty/initramfs-tools

This looks fine, but all changes meant to fix bugs in stable releases should first land in the development release. Can you please do a similar merge proposal for the zesty release?

Also, please make sure that in debian/changelog, lines are limited to 80 columns.

review: Approve

[Noorez (noorez-kassam)]

Will you be able to give me some guidance? I have lost my development environment and have almost got it setup..

As it has been a while since I have been here, how do I checkout the branch for the zesty release? It seems that the approach that I used before is not working. Has the location of the source changed? I cannot find it?...

Thanks!
