it does *not* work on x86, we have provided you with a long list of bugs
that would needed to be fixed, which didn't happen until now.
the only worktime you invested was downgrading the reported bugs.
as linux-2.6 x86 Debian kernel Maintainer i ask this software to be
removed as Debian unstable is not the place for exp unreleasable stuff.

the new kid on the block is dracut and i'd be more then happy to help

in summary unless you come up with *real* counter reasons
i stand to the rm request.
