Err, yeah, that's probably more precise.

OK, I've seen it, but: which file does it touch?? That's a complete mystery to me (the initramfs-tools git checkout here does not contain that path).

Hmm, the patch was introduced in early moments from 3.7 prior to 3.8-rc1. Thus one could say that the non-covered window is only a part of the small 3.8-rc1 step which is used by devel people only. OTOH to retain the very important development property of properly working regression bisects over all versions (of regressions *other* than this USB boot effect, that is), even that smallish window ought to be fully covered. If it thus is decided to be a sizeable versioning issue, then it really should be downgraded to 3.7 very soon, in order to prevent a support window coverage issue.
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
