Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.142+deb12u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to 12.7 point release and rebooting, I was unable to
enter my FDE LUKS password. The keyboard was totally unresponsive to any key presses
(no asterisks were echoed when typing the password, and hitting Enter did nothing).

My keyboard is a standard USB keyboard (Topre Realforce) connected to
an AMD-based HP desktop machine.

I then booted to a rescue environment from an USB stick and downgraded
initramfs-tools(-core) to the previous version (0.142). After that everything
worked normally again.

According to the changelog, there are several recent keyboard and USB
related changes in this u1 release that might be relevant.

Please take a look, I think this is fairly important since it renders at least
some systems with LUKS unbootable.

Pablo
