Richard Laager 4dd322f118 Debian/Ubuntu: Separate a command
Having the systemctl enable command right with the unit file contents
made it possible to confuse that command for part of the file contents.

Fixes #9985

Richard Laager 6f06ff11bc Revert "Debian: mkdir /var/lock"
This was only an issue because the original bug reporter was using
something other than debootstrap.

This reverts commit 3f5a09e7df75aec72d9e85b3748ce7cf4948623e.

Richard Laager a2e28dcde8 Ubuntu/Debian: Use a variable for the disk
This simplifies a bunch of typing.  This does more strongly encourage
people to use /dev/disk/by-id naming, as e.g. ${DISK}-part1 does not
work if $DISK is /dev/sda.  This could be a considered a feature or a
bug, depending on one's perspective.

Richard Laager 8a4ed05695 Revert "Debian: Add steps to patch zfs-initramfs"
buster-backports has 0.8.2 now.

This reverts commit c7722c835c525d513d3a2df41222351e4b146dc4, except
that I kept the `apt update`, `apt dist-upgrade`, and `reboot` steps.

Richard Laager c7722c835c Debian: Add steps to patch zfs-initramfs
The patch fixes zfs-initramfs's Plymouth support for prompting for
encryption passphrases. It is included in 0.8.2, so by the time of the
next package update, the patch should not need to be reapplied.
