[Adam Conrad]

Hello Marcelo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted initramfs-tools into cosmic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-
tools/0.131ubuntu15.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-cosmic to verification-done-cosmic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-cosmic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Skip enslaved devices during boot

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In some scenarios, we need to skip enslaved network devices from being
  brought up in initrd.

  In order to avoid regressions for other users, the new behaviour is
  being conditioned to the configuration variable NETWORK_SKIP_ENSLAVED.
  This mechanism enable us to use it only for the required kernels. The
  target kernel should be responsible to include the configuration via
  an initramfs-tools hook.

  [Test Case]

  Enslaved network devices shouldn't be brought up when the
  configuration is set by certain kernels. For any other scenario, such
  as the generic Ubuntu kernel, the behaviour should not be changed.

  [Regression Potential]

  The potential for regressions was vastly reduced by conditioning the
  new behaviour.
