I guess this brings up the integration question again.  I'm not
involved enough in the initramfs-tools stuff with Debian or Ubuntu
enough enough, but I noticed that Dave Jones started an initramfs list
for trying to solve this cross-distro.  Is klibc in that picture?

It would be nice to hack on something, maybe I'll do that this
weekend.  Let's see what my toddler allows.  I miss hacking. =/
