Bug#272079: initrd-tools: Oh why has not this bug been fixed???

[Jesse Molina <jesse@opendreams.net>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.84.1
Followup-For: Bug #272079


Here I am, six months later, having the same bug when a fix is clearly available but the maintainers don't want to implement it.

My situation is completely legit.  I have LVM compiled in but need an initrd for a SATA card, and mkinitrd freaks out because of incorrect sanity checking.

Please, please, someone on the kernel team, apply the patch to fix this thing so that I don't have to patch my mkinitrd every dang time I want to compile a new kernel.
