won't comment any further on your personal opinons.
fact is that yaird never was default for any linux-2.6 testing image
and aboves line was completly false due to the usage of mkinitramfs
instead of update-initramfs (maybe mkinitramfs-kpkg for lenny).
anyway this story is closed and i will refrain to repeat myself or
post any followup even if your allegations get even stranger.
