   Dear Everyone,   
      
   I implemented the required logic, as I suppose, in the simplest working way by   
   copying most code from Ubuntu and splitting it into premount and bottom parts.   
   The scripts are available from https://github.com/muwlgr/scripts   
   blob/main/initramfs/hostloop-premount ,   
   that's to be copied into /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/ and   
   assigned executable rights,   
   and from https://github.com/muwlgr/scripts/blob/main/initramfs/hostloop-bottom   
   ,   
   that's to be copied into /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-bottom/ and also   
   assigned executable rights.   
   In my solution I use this very useful exchange of updated environment   
   variables through /conf/param.conf   
      
   Please review the code, adopt and customize it, and share your feedback.   
   Also please have a look at my larger article at https://muwlgr.d   
   eamwidth.org/54748.html   
   where these scripts are copied into the target filesystem from here-documents.   
      
   I would appreciate your insightful responses. Thank you in advance.
