Bug#744836: "Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!" --> "Ensure all necessary drivers are built into the linux image!"
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.115
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs
When building a live-boot image with a custom kernel that lacks CONFIG_MODULE,
I ran into this warning output:
Setting up linux-image-3.13.7inmate (3.13.7inmate-1) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.7inmate
WARNING: missing /lib/modules/3.13.7inmate
Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!

WARNING: could not open /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9M1xNs/lib/modules/3.13.7inmate/modules.builtin: No such file or directory
The "needs thus" line confused me, so I suggest this replacement:
Ensure all necessary drivers are built into the linux image!
