Hello,
I have just run another test on armhf with today's daily d-i
build (dated 25-Sep-2014 05:17) and default debconf priority
(at which no debconf prompt regarding initramfs-tools gets
displayed). This results in:
~ # cat /target/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy
# Driver inclusion policy selected during installation
# Note: this setting overrides the value set in the file
# /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
MODULES=dep
and the short module list in the initramfs confirms that it was
really built with MODULES=dep. The comment marked above suggests
that this is an architecture-dependent default, so we could
possibly both be right ;-). If yes, we will have to find a
solution regarding the inclusion of the phy-sun4i-usb module
when building the initramfs with MODULES=dep, though.
Regards,
Karsten
