Also putting the word "MIPS" back in to reassure users this really is
aimed at them:
Boot loader configuration must be updated to load initramfs
This kernel package will build an "initramfs" file
(/boot/initrd.img-@abiname@) for the boot loader to use in
addition to the kernel itself. This method, formerly unsupported
on MIPS, enables a more flexible boot process, and future kernel
versions may require a corresponding initrd.img to boot.
.
The currently running kernel has been booted without an initramfs.
You should reconfigure your boot loader to load the initramfs for
Linux version @abiname@ and for each later version.
I also might have suggested moving this from a debconf note to a
NEWS.Debian file, but that would reduce its visibility (since
apt-listchanges only shows them when you're upgrading a new version
of an already-installed package).
