I'm having trouble seeing why this is important. - What is a Debian/Ubuntu initramfs doing on a device designed for Android, which typically doesn't require or support use of an initramfs? - Why is it important to have this facility in the initramfs, rather than in the 'real' system? - Doesn't Ubuntu always use busybox and glibc in the initramfs, anyway? (Alternately, try to convince upstream of the importance, as it doesn't seem to have had any response yet.)
