[Bug 582646] [NEW] update-initramfs hook copy_exec won't overwrite

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions bails out if copy_exec is
called twice with the same target path.

What I want to do is:

copy_exec /usr/bin/btrfsctl /sbin
copy_exec /usr/local/bin/btrfsctl /sbin

And have the second one win.  This way I can eventually use btrfs-tools
once it's up to date (and no longer a moving target upstream), while
still using the current version compiled from git on a very frequent
basis.

The current behavior will silently break the boot when one or the other
ceases to exist at best, and end up including a potentially broken
utility in the worst case.
