Currently it is packaged as mkinitrd.yaird and must then manually be installed in /etc/kernel-img.conf as "ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird", but if needed I can repackage with the wrapper as mkinitrd and the package conflicting mkinitrd. Sounds like a good idea, we just would have 2.6.13+ packages depend on it... Best regards Frederik Schueler -- ENOSIG
