[Bug 1736830] [NEW] initramfs hook removes the names tag of a CREATE line

[Hontvári József Levente]

Public bug reported:

The hook removes the entire CREATE line because of a bugfix,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717609

Unfortunately it also removes tags which are unrelated to bug above.
Specifically it removes the "names" tag. This tag would ensure that
mdadm uses textual raid array names ("non-numberic standard name"), e.g.
/dev/md_backup instead of the usual /dev/md1.

Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release: 18.04
Package: 4.0-2 (mdadm/mdadm_4.0-2_amd64.deb)

** Affects: mdadm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
