Title:
  Boot fails if /sbin/init is an absolute symlink

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Booting current Utopic with init=/bin/systemd fails., or installing
  systemd-sysv fails. In both cases we are dealing with an absolute
  symlink "/bin/systemd -> /lib/systemd/systemd" or "/sbin/init ->
  /lib/systemd/systemd". I see:

  /init: line 307: readlink: not found
  Target filesystem doesn't have requested /bin/systemd
  and then a kernel panic.
