Err. putting
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs
in /etc/kernel-img.conf does seem to work. Or are you talking about
using mkinitramfs by default? mkinitramfs fails if the kernel version
is not at least 2.6.12, so it can't be used unilaterally.
I guess we could add a version specific check into the
postinst to default to using yaird or mkinitramfs , if installed, in
preference to mkinitrd, though I am usually hesitant to add in
version dependencies into kernel-package in general, I could be
persuaded that an exception is justified in this case.
