While it's generally true that it's important not to optimise without
test data to measure against, many of the things that I expected to take
alot of time just don't because everything is already in memory.

In Ubuntu we're not using mklibs, we use ldd and sed instead. If this
behaviour can be restored, we can drop the python dep.

It gets freed as part of run-init, which goes through and rm's
everything on the ramdisk to cause it to be returned to the system.

at you're likely
interested in booting with in the initramfs and detecting which ones to
use at boot time. If you ask it to detect which modules are needed, it
needs a valid sysfs tree to scan (although it is resiliant in that case
against module name changes)

If it has been altered by the user, it will say so, and refuse to touch
it.
This is key to the strategy of pushing as many of the add-on bits out to
other packages as possible.
For those that haven't looked at the initramfs-tools code, please
consider doing so. It's written in shell. =) If you have questions,
lemme know. I'm subscribed to this list, but don't check the folder
often, so cc:'ing me is usually good if you need a fast response.

2.6 ones, i believe.
initramfs-tools and yaird default to initramfs format, but could probably
generate cramfs or ext2 just as well.
And initrd requires pivot_root to chain to the root system. On an initramfs, a pivot_root will crash it. You need to do a move mount instead.

Colin would be best to poll about that, I guess. Ubuntu is using initramfs-tools, so Debian could just inherit those changes.

workaround for the compile error for sparc.
The ports that I listed as known-working above are using initramfs-tools for the Breezy release. So I generally *hope* they're well enough tested. I'll let you know in a week ;)
