hi!

If you install multipath-tools-boot we assume you want multipath for
your rootfs, otherwise the package shouldn't be installed.

ok that's the solution then.
my habit of installing packages just because they're suggested by the package i wish to install is simply wrong in this case.

or maybe multipath shouldn't be installed to initramfs on (non-initial) installation.
It only get's installed when you install multipath-tools-boot. Maybe I
should clarify the description - would this help?

hmm, yes, maybe in my case it would have helped to mention in the package description that installation of this package will break non-multipath-device-root-fs-installations - to keep people like me from just installing it although they might not actually use it (yet).
whether that's worth it might be arguable - i'd vote for it. :)

i think it would be generally a good idea to make optional initramfs-configs not break initramfs even if/while they're not actually used, but i see that this isn't trivial in this case so i'd waive this as academic... :)

thanks,

        Chris
