Title:
  LVM2 hook not executable; causes update-initramfs to miss adding lvm2
  binaries

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I did an upgrade from Groovy to Hirsute today, but the upgrade did not
  go well.

  I run an encrypted LVM for my root Ubuntu partition.  My grub did not
  get updated properly at upgrade time, but via a USB startup disk for
  Hirsute I was able to repair this myself.  However, I spent hours
  trying to get grub to detect my LVs.

  Ultimately, I found the problem: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2
  in the lvm2_2.03.11-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb package lacks an executable
  flag.  Running update-initramfs verbosely highlighted that the hook
  was not getting fired for this reason.

  Upon adding the executable flag to the file, I was able to use a
  chroot to re-build the initramfs and get my system to boot.
