suggested initramfs-tools patches



Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to write to. I've made a few patches to this package that my company is using in production, and I would like to contribute them back to the Debian community. The patches are:

1. allowing an LVM root device to be specified as /dev/VG/LV instead of /dev/mapper/VG-LV

2. incorporating lvm, and the standard ext3 tools resize2fs and mkfs.ext3 in the ramdisk, which provides users with the basic tools to resize, rename, their filesystems and logical volumes (particularly their root filesystems) without needing an alternative system on the hard disk to boot off.

Kind regards,

Struan
