Upstream is Debian; perhaps you could file a Debian bug report on
initramfs-tools with this patch?

A poll/retry loop is generally a suboptimal way to do this kind of
thing; what we really want is to wait for udev to tell us that it has
finished with the event that triggered renaming of the device. Perhaps
you could talk with Surbhi about the plans for making the initramfs more
event-based.
