indeed very valued, the initramfs-tools have been a bit sloppy about that.
consistent state is very much appreciated!!
initramfs-tools will also evolve from a pure "Debian" package.
jbailey plans the next release as non native package.
i'm happy that the short live inside of the debian svn was so positive
with your fixes on top of the new busybox/udev work by waldi,
even if needs now some work to merge back. :-)
