Well, that's good news.
Debian's default kernels are... very full-featured, shall we say.. It seems perfectly reasonable to supply a failsafe kernel -- the only problem in the Debian package was supplying a binary without source. So, if cramfs is the only issue, perhaps someone could make a standard Debian kernel (the "standard debian way") with cramfs disabled, and package *that* as mindi-kernel. That sounds like it should work!
