[Bug 631167] [NEW] maverick upgrade error: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/iscan failed with return 1

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

While attempting to upgrade a Lucid system to the Maverick beta, some
sort of error occurred during the upgrade process.  When I tried to
complete the upgrade, I got errors which appear to point to a problem in
initramfs-tools.  I retried the upgrade by hand (aptitude safe-upgrade),
but the errors persist.  I'm attaching a full copy of the "aptitude"
output, but here is a hopefully salient sample:

Setting up linux-image-2.6.35-19-generic (2.6.35-19.28) ...
