That sounds great.
The package is initrd-tools, the program is a shell script called
mkinitrd, and it's supposed to create an initrd that brings up the
real root filesystem and then runs pivot_root on it.
Keep in mind that Herbert is still listed as the maintainer, so in
order to make changes to the package, someone has to adopt it. Any
takers?
Regards, Jens.
