Question: is it expected it's not available in the initramfs? Apparently that was the case already for alpha1, and is still the case now. (I wanted to check whether that -0 thingy was working as expected.) > #406114 - http://bugs.debian.org/406114 > d-i: having a tool like ping > > This is a wishlist bug.
