Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109.1
Severity: wishlist

I'd like to backport the prepend_earlyinitramfs() support to a stable
update of initramfs-tools.

The two patches in 0.112..0.113 apply directly on top of 0.109.1, and are
apropriate to 0.109.1.  The feature has been in unstable and testing for
some time now, and no bugs were reported.

Alternatively, we could backport v0.113 as is to stable, as it fixes some
real bugs that can cause trouble for stable users that use new kernels (such
as #700572), and doesn't introduce any risky changes.

A stable update of initramfs-tools adding prepend_earlyinitramfs() support
to wheezy would make it possible to do a stable update of intel-microcode
(which will be required anyway due to critical fixes recently issued by
Intel for several processors) that can support early firmware updates.

People do use the LTS 3.10 kernel with Debian wheezy, it would be a very
good thing to be able to better support this kernel, and support early
firmware updates for those people out-of-the-box.  It will also come on very
handy for wheezy-and-a-half (updated kernel) if we decide to release it.

Closing the bug, since a backport was uploaded and a stable update is not
going to happen.
