I've tried installing on a Qube2 but dpkg gives the following error
about unresolved dependencies:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
linux-image-2.6.26-rc5-r5k-cobalt:
 linux-image-2.6.26-rc5-r5k-cobalt depends on initramfs-tools (>=
0.55) | yaird (>= 0.0.12-25) | linux-initramfs-tool; however:
  Package initramfs-tools is not installed.
  Package yaird is not installed.
  Package linux-initramfs-tool is not installed.

Are those really required or is this a problem with the packaging ?
I'm asking because I've never needed any of those in the past...
