When was your last upload of yaird ? And when was your last contact with upstream, and it is suddenly no more true that you are able to make yaird fixes without needing upstream's authorization or approval ? If any of the above suddenly is no more an issue, please fix #345067, it has a patch, and there is no sane reason not to fix it, except poor excuses that you can't do so without approval from your upstream, who has been MIA since late december. > Really, Sven.

Well, i am frustrated, but seriously, do you consider that yaird is currently well maintained given the above situation ? I don't, and as thus oppose that it be presented as an alternative to initramfs-tools, unless you search co-maintainer who have an idea about the code, or otherwise take your maintainer job more seriously.
