You mean the section on the --initrd flag? Yes, I read that. It isn't
explicit about whether it creates the initrd image itself, or gets the
install script to do it or whatever.

I assume it does just work without my further intervention, though I still
don't know whether the image is included in the package or created at
install time. I assume the latter, since it needs to know what modules to
include.

Many thanks,
