Special thanks to Samuel for his help in this. Two remarks:
1. Practically, the ability to embed BRLTTY in initramfs means that one
becomes able to have an encrypted hard drive and to have braille support
for entering the passphrase to access it.
2. As suggested by Samuel privately, it may be suitable to have the
support for embedding BRLTTY in initramfs upstreamed so that this
feature becomes available in all distributions, especially in the
context of being able to encrypt ones hard drive.
Sébastien.
