I'm not discussing wether or not RedHat's mkinitrd is better than Herbert's, that could have been done by him in the BTS. However, closing bugs shoving off people with: "This bug is pointless." (Herbert Xu, when closing bug #181126) is the thing I just don't get. It's a) rude b) pretty uninformative If that's how we should treat users who are filing bug reports against Debian I'm afraid we are never going to get anyone to cooperate more than twice.
