Yeah, maybe with "current daily snapshots of debian-installer".

But I am not reinstalling my notebooks every day with the latest
snapshots. 


I installed the notebooks around almost a year ago, and at that time
debian did not support such a method. I had some discussions with
maintainers at that time, and I assume that it was my proposal why it
is implemented in latest snapshots, but I never got a feedback that it
had actually been implemented.


That's why I had written an mkinitramfs hook and a local-top script to
do that. I recently noticed that ubuntu's mkinitramfs did not
automatically include /sbin/vgchange anymore, and that debian's
mkinitramfs contained comments that these changes will apply soon.

That's what I asked about that. I did not intend to launch a discussion
about how the latest debian installer works.
