Dear Maintainer,

while trying installing debian 8.2 onto a PCIe SSD (NVMe device) the
creation of the initrd is failing.

You should change the configuration as recommended here - change
MODULES=dep to MODULES=most in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d

This is properly fixed in version 0.121~rc2 and the fix might be
backported to Debian 8 later.

Ben.
