+.SH KERNEL HOOKS
+initramfs-tools includes hook scripts that are called by kernel
+packages on installation and removal, so that an initramfs is
+automatically created, updated or deleted as necessary. The hook
+scripts do nothing if the environment variable \fBINITRD\fR is
+set to \fBNo\fR. This will be the case for kernel packages

+not set in the kernel config, or built with \fBmake-kpkg\fR and not
+using the \fB--initrd\fR option.
