Title:
  debug setting does not turn on tracing for scripts called by init

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Version: 0.130ubuntu3.9
  Severity: normal

  When adding "debug" to the kernel commandline debug output is turned
  on and is very useful for debugging.  However, none of the scripts
  (eg. local-premount/resume) recognize the debug variable to turn on
  tracing as in init. I simply added the line '[ -n "${debug}" ] && set
  -x' as the first line in local-premount/resume and now I get debug
  logging when the debug kernel parameter is added.  This line should be
  added to all scripts, or at least the scripts run by "run_parts".
