[Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Version         : 0.0.9

  Description     : Yet Another mkInitRD

 YAIRD is a sysfs-based initrd builder.  It determines which modules
 to load based on the same algorithms as hotplug.  Unlike Debian's
 stock initrd-tools, the kernel being booted need not support the
 now-deprecated devfs.
 .
 This version builds the newer cpio format initrds, even though the
 stock Debian configuration uses the older format.  Thus, having
 cramfs compiled into the kernel is not necessary.  YAIRD supports
 only kernel 2.6.


I am in good dialogue already with upstream about the Debian packaging.
