Title:
  live-build doesn't work with multi-part initrds

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Due to attempts to treat initrds as single compressed files (both for
  recompression, and in the lesser-used codepath for hunting through the
  initrd to find a file), multi-part initrds cause live-build to fail.

  Proposed fix is to let initramfs-tools do the heavy lifting, by
  setting COMPRESS for generating initrds, and by using unmkinitramfs to
  unpack them and look around for stuff.
