Thanks for your reply.

I am not sure, but i feel that the rewriting or whatever to use only perl-base
would be needed only once we are sure it is going to be part of base or not.
This is a choice, and i have the feeling that the 2.4 upgrade path makes
initramfs-tools more suitable as default, altough i believe choice is good.
