We only need that on PowerPC OldWorld, so changing the initrd may break
other PowerPC subarchitectures, or that means we have to generate two
versions of the PowerPC installer.
Also I don't want to touch code that is executed by other architectures
or subarchitectures so close to the release, especially when none of
them are having a special case in library.sh.

I'll change that in trunk.
