Thanks.

Accepted casper into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See

Bug description:
Stable update justification:
Impact: USB stick upgrades fail with obscure errors when upgrading the
kernel. This results in very large numbers of duplicate bug reports.
Development branch: Fixed in casper 1.253/1.254 by making the
writable-
it's copying not existing for various reasons, and making it be a
separate executable which can be upgraded in ways that don't involve
regenerating the USB stick.
Patch:

TEST CASE: Create an Ubuntu USB stick, making sure that you do *not*
drag the "Stored in reserved extra space" slider all the way to the
right in usb-creator (see bug 562312), and run 'sudo update-initramfs
-u'. 10.04.1 and 10.10 as released should fail. A lucid daily build
dating from after this SRU is accepted should succeed (we're unlikely
to do more daily builds of maverick). Also, if you start from 10.04.1
or 10.10 as released, upgrade the casper package to the current
version in lucid-proposed or maverick-proposed after this SRU is
accepted, and then run 'sudo update-initramfs -u', that should
succeed.
Regression potential: I don't think update-initramfs will fail in any
more situations due to this change. Possible sources of regression
are problems upgrading the casper package, and testers should also
make sure that the upgraded image actually still boots following this
change.
Please note the similar bug 591207, which we're fixing along with this
bug, and the related bug 591202 in grub2, which you may run into along
the way.
