1) I want to add a package to the initrd as built using the

statically? Is this what I should be doing?
OK, I worked out how to build udebs with the notes at the end of the
debian installer file:
debian-installer/installer/docs/modules.txt
and the notes in
debian-installer/installer/build/README
by putting the built udebs in build/localudebs and listing them in
build/dpkg-lists/local
When the:
fakeroot make rebuilt_netboot
(or whatever) fails cos some symbols are missing, do:
dpkg -s packge
on whatever udebs you have (also installed as .debs) and see what
libraries they depend on. Get the source to those libraries and build
them as udebs the same way and put them in build/localudebs
rinse and repeat.
I'll see where this gets me. (still rinsing and repeating)
