A better approach IMHO is to recommend (not depend on) alternative
ramdisk tool than the one picked as default.
initramfs-tools will pull in udev which is unwanted for some, and yaird
will similarly pull in perl dependencies that is unwanted for some.
Sure, both can be seen as weird complaints (I have had my fights with
convincing the php4 maintainer to not depend on X11 by default when
sanely avoidable), but I don't think disliking udev should force one to
either recompile kernels or use equivs.
