s/can/must..:-)
Given that the question is really technical, I would even suggest to
drop the priority down to low.....

When I saw them appearing, I didn't cared that much because I didn't
notice they are used at high priority. Anyway, they seem quite OK. The
short description is not easy to write and even less easy to translate
(initramfs and initrd on the same line is kind of a challenge for
languages where everything is translated...:-))).
Up to now, I didn't come with something better so I think they should
be left as is.
