Ok, since we go this way, i notice that you didn't even bother to post a
single post to said bug report, and that when i used my time to test
initramfs-tools on the pegasos, you ended up being uncivile to me (again)
on irc, so really, i am a bit sick of your behavior.

So, what does it cost asking that he goes the full way and tries out
MODULES=dep, or are you afraid it will be broken, and will need to coerce
someone else to fix the bug for you ? Like you not even bothering to look at
how to build klibc with l-k-h as it should, and me having to do it for you ?
