Package: flash-kernel
Version: 2.39
Severity: minor

        Hi

 flash-kernel currently calls mkimage -C gzip when creating uInitrds for
 various platforms, but Debian initrds are already gzipped by
 initramfs-tools, so it seems like a waste of CPU cycles at flash-kernel
 and boot time.

   Cheers,
