Package: initrd-tools

linux-2.6 no longer allows initrd-tools for the generation of the
initrd.  It's not clear however whether this is intentional or just a
typo.  The following changelog claims that all initrd/initramfs
generating tools are supported, so I assume this would include
initrd-tools:

| linux-2.6 (2.6.13+2.6.14-rc4-0experimental.1) experimental; urgency=low

|  * Fixed control.image.in to depend on :
|      initramfs-tools | yaird | linux-ramdisk-tool
|    where linux-ramdisk-tools is the virtual package provided by all
|    initrd/initramfs generating tools.

initramfs-tools and yaird provide 'linux-initramfs-tool' while
initrd-tools provides 'linux-initrd-tool'.  I see that the current
linux-2.6 depends on linux-initramfs-tool, but that is not fulfiled by
initrd-tools.

Is this a typo in the Provides of initrd-tools or will initrd-tools
not work with 2.6.14 kernels?

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
