sorry to jump in so late and due to my complete ignorance of ubi,
please enlighten me on the importance of it?

i'm a bit hesitant of adding it to every initramfs out there:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/mtd/ubi/ubi.ko
could d-i add it to the relevant installation as hook?
who does need or may want to use ubi?

thanks
