It is compatible with initramfs-tools, yes. It is also
compatible with yaird. make. gcc. ldconfig. and loads of other
packages -- and I think it would just cluttr thing up to mention
everything we are copatible with.
Also, did you read all the existing documentation, anyway?
Specifically, did you note the INITRD_CMD of kernel-pkg.conf(5) man
page that talks about the initrd stuff? I don't think adding hints in
the documentation would help, really.
