...by initrd-tools, not the kernel package itself, right?

As I understand it initrd-tools is expected to be dropped for etch, and
I guess that's part of your judging reassignment as a noop. But if
initrd-tools for some reason is kept alive (2.4 kernels are _not_ yet
completely dead) then it might make sense to collect bugs where they
truly belong, even if closed.


But whatever - I won't interfere more, do as you like.
