Dunno, but you have a good touch for shaking out the corner

What happens here is that mkinitrd does not ignore non-.o/.ko/.gz
modules as it probably should. The warning is "just" annoying though,
it makes no difference for the initrd build in any way.

This one is confusing me.
Just so I understand, when you purged the kernel image, was
loop-aes installed? Did you purge loop-aes as well? Was loop-aes
installed at the time you did "ls" above?
Do you remember which version of loop-aes was installed before?
I'm thinking this could be a side effect from changing the diversion
during upgrade from a version < 2.2d-3, if kernel-image was removed
before upgrade of the loop-aes package.
Another thing, could you send output of
dpkg-divert --list | grep /lib/modules/2.6.10-nb
dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.10-nb/kernel/drivers/block/loop.ko{,-orig}
Thanks.

It's added in preinst of the loop-aes module package, so when you
install that one.

The spurious warning from mkinitrd can be fixed in initrd-tools.
I think I'll prepare a patch and later clone/submit the bug there.
cheers,
