Ah, i was going to not parse anything and just copy it as is into INITRD_CMD.
Mmm, wait, i forgot something, this is not the usecase i want, what i want is :

ramdisk: mkinitrd.yaird mkinitramfs

the list of actual binaries being called, not the dependencies. No versions in
sight for this, and the full value need to be overridable globaly, per arch,
per subarch or per flavour.
