JFTR: initramfs-tools 0.93.4-grml02 was just a Q/A build of
initramfs-tools's git tree (and the incorporated Q/A stuff is merged
upstream nowadays), so I expect that initramfs-tools 0.97 works just
as expected.

I'll make sure that the FAI repository provides initramfs-tools
version >=0.97 as well.
