Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
This is a similar problem that was reported in #505440.
The DEVICE variable is leaked into the environment. The mdadm mkconf script
uses DEVICE when it is installing its config file.
In my case DEVICE is set by initramfs-tools to eth0.
For now a patch(*) was written for mdadm, but it could be that other scripts
use DEVICE.

closing as no follow-up nor second reporter since initial report.
if you can still reproduce shout and show how so that it can be
worked on.
