Bug#494922: initramfs-tools: fails to include the ext4 module into the initramfs.

[Wei Hu <weihu@cs.virginia.edu>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: normal

I switched my root fs from ext3 to ext4. The initramfs built by initramfs-tools doesn't include the ext4 module, making the system unbootable. I removed the package and installed yaird, which correctly identifies the dependency on ext4.
