thank you very much. applied your 3 changes to branch maks/hooks on
http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=summary
please review before I'd merge into master for next upload.
I'm not sure if the indirection to STDERR is needed for make deb-pkg,
but it shouldn't hurt there?
you may want to have a look at for initramfs-tools dev
http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/maintainer-notes.html;h=eeceafdfc498bd6585328d1eeb52e6e454d524ee;hb=HEAD
changes in git send-email or online git repo are easier to handle.
