Bug#403863: initscripts: Stray file /lib/init/rw/.ramfs not in package list

[Greg Kochanski]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: normal


The file /lib/init/rw/.ramfs is created, presumably by
initscripts.   It's not in the package list, and that's
not at all a good place to dynamically create a file.
Not to mention, putting a hidden file under /lib is
pretty low-class.
