Could you explain this a bit more? Why has initrd generation support been dropped?
>From a user perspective: Build a kernel using make-kpkg --initrd binary and installing it via dpkg -i results in a working kernel when using 11.015. It results in an unbootable system when using 12.017. The Rationale.gz states as _first_ reason to use kernel-package: i) Convenience. I used to compile kernels manually, and it involved a series of steps to be taken in order; kernel-package was written to take all the required steps (it has grown beyond that now, but essentially, that is what it does). This is especially important to novices: make-kpkg takes all the steps required to compile a kernel, and installation of kernels is a snap. It seems this no longer applies.
