initrds are a distant memory, not necessary to mention any more. Also
update-initramfs runs automatically so this package isn't just a set
of tools.

Description: generic modular initramfs generator
- This package contains tools to create a bootable initramfs for Linux kernel
- packages. The initramfs is a compressed cpio archive. At boot time, the
- kernel unpacks that archive into RAM, mounts and uses it as initial root file
- system. The mounting of the real root file system occurs in early user space.
- klibc provides utilities to setup root. Having the root on MD, LVM2, LUKS or
- NFS is also supported.
- Any boot loader with initrd support is able to load an initramfs archive.
+ This package builds a bootable initramfs for Linux kernel packages. The
+ initramfs is loaded along with the kernel and is responsible for
+ mounting the root filesystem and starting the main init system.
