I've verified this using the steps described in the SRU template $ dpkg-query --show overlayroot overlayroot 0.27ubuntu1.3
** Description changed: === Begin SRU Template === - [Impact] + [Impact] overlayfs writes some log information to the tmpfs that was intended to be then viewable after the pivot_root to the real root. The path used was /dev/.initramfs. Due to changes in initramfs-tools under this bug, that path was no longer supported. And the logging was busted. - + There was no functional problem with this except in the crypt use case as described in bug 1634310. - + [Test Case] 1.) Start an instance of a cloud image. - + 2.) Enable proposed and install overlayroot to show fix. - $ rel=$(lsb_release -sc) - $ echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $rel-proposed main" | - $ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list - $ sudo apt update -qy && sudo apt install -qy overlayroot </dev/null - $ dpkg-query --show overlayroot - overlayroot 0.27ubuntu1.3 - + $ rel=$(lsb_release -sc) + $ echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $rel-proposed main" | + $ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list + $ sudo apt update -qy && sudo apt install -qy overlayroot </dev/null + $ dpkg-query --show overlayroot + overlayroot 0.27ubuntu1.3 + 3.)

Most likely would be inadvertant failure. As you can see in the fix, the code looks for a dir /run/initramfs /dev/.initramfs and picks the first one that exists. If neither existed for some reason, then debug would remain busted. [Other Info] The full overlayroot/init-bottom/overlayroot can be seen at [1].
