Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.5
Severity: normal

Hi,

at least for hook scripts, PREREQ is only honored in /etc/initramfs-tools resp
/usr/share/initramfs-tools. First all scripts in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools are ordered according to their PREREQ
values and executed, then all scripts in /etc/initramfs-tools are
ordered according to _their_ PREREQ values and executed.

There is no possibility to have a local script executed before one
from the package.

This is at least surprising.

Greetings
Marc

I'm sorry that no one seemed to care about this issue for so long.
