I have tracked it down a bit, and it seems that it's brltty 6.9 which is posing the problem: upgrading all packages but brltty from testing to unstable and running update-initramfs -u keeps the system bootable. Upgrading to brltty 6.8-5 and updating initramfs still keeps the system bootable. It's only when I upgraded to 6.9-1 that I got the issue. Sébastien, can that match your finding? Samuel
