Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98.7 Severity: normal As far as I understand, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d is a directory to configure intramfs-tools without touching the main configuration file initramfs-tools.conf. But there's some inconsistency here: it looks to me that only the settings from initramfs.conf are visible to hook scripts, whereas those from conf.d/* are not.
It would be nice, for example, to check the BOOT setting from hook scripts and skip growing the initramfs uselessly if the selected boot method does not require some features. But currently this is not possible if a value is assigned to BOOT via a file in conf.d. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15M Jan 21 13:15 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/mranderson-root ro quiet -- resume RESUME=/dev/mapper/mranderson-swap_crypt -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk ext2 ext3 reiserfs xfs jfs msdos vfat ntfs minix hfs hfsplus qnx4 ufs btrfs -- lsmod Module Size Used by nls_utf8 1208 0 nls_cp437 5817 0 btrfs 375670 0 zlib_deflate 17746 1 btrfs crc32c 2560 1 libcrc32c 1074 1 btrfs ufs 56474 0 qnx4 6194 0 hfsplus 65270 0 hfs 37455 0 minix 21197 0 ntfs 162796 0 vfat 7884 0 msdos 6202 0 fat 40038 2 vfat,msdos jfs 140089 0 xfs 436941 0 exportfs 3170 1 xfs reiserfs 194156 0 ext3 106518 0 jbd 37085 1 ext3 ext2 52969 0 ecryptfs 79791 1 ip6table_filter 2384 0 ip6_tables 15075 1 ip6table_filter iptable_filter 2258 0 ip_tables 13899 1 iptable_filter ebtable_nat 1588 0 ebtables 13933 1 ebtable_nat x_tables 12845 3 ip6_tables,ip_tables,ebtables ppdev 5030 0 lp 7462 0 sco 7209 2 bnep 9427 2 acpi_cpufreq 5571 1 rfcomm 29597 8 cpufreq_userspace 1992 0 cpufreq_stats 2659 0 l2cap 24736 16 bnep,rfcomm cpufreq_conservative 5162 0 cpufreq_powersave 902 0 kvm_intel 38146 0 uinput 6376 1 binfmt_misc 6431 1 kvm 214088 1 kvm_intel fuse 50625 1 sha256_generic 8692 2 aes_x86_64 7340 200 aes_generic 25714 1 aes_x86_64 cbc 2539 197 loop 11799 0 firewire_sbp2 11514 0 dm_crypt 10664 1 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi 10695 1 snd_hda_codec_idt 42481 1 arc4 1274 2 snd_hda_intel 20019 3 snd_hda_codec 54244 3 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel ecb 1841 3 snd_hwdep 5380 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 60503 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec iwlagn 73123 0 snd_seq 42881 0 iwlcore 77810 1 iwlagn snd_timer 15582 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq uvcvideo 52063 0 snd_seq_device 4493 1 snd_seq joydev 8459 0 videodev 29993 1 uvcvideo snd 46446 15 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device i2c_i801 7830 0 btusb 9881 0 hid_microsoft 2695 0 v4l1_compat 11442 2 uvcvideo,videodev bluetooth 41827 7 sco,bnep,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb mac80211 137340 2 iwlagn,iwlcore v4l2_compat_ioctl32 8474 1 videodev psmouse 49777 0 dell_laptop 1985 0 soundcore 4598 1 snd cfg80211 101496 3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211 parport_pc 18855 0 rfkill 13044 4 bluetooth,dell_laptop,cfg80211 snd_page_alloc 6249 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm dcdbas 5048 1 dell_laptop parport 27954 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc serio_raw 3752 0 pcspkr 1699 0 container 2389 0 battery 4998 0 ac 2192 0 processor 29935 5 acpi_cpufreq wmi 4323 0 evdev 7352 31 usbhid 33292 0 hid 63225 2 hid_microsoft,usbhid ext4 289033 6 mbcache 5050 3 ext3,ext2,ext4 jbd2 67015 1 ext4 crc16 1319 2 l2cap,ext4 dm_mod 53754 24 dm_crypt sg 18744 0 sr_mod 12602 0 sd_mod 29889 2 cdrom 29415 1 sr_mod crc_t10dif 1276 1 sd_mod i915 255262 2 drm_kms_helper 20065 1 i915 ahci 32374 1 ehci_hcd 31151 0 drm 142359 3 i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 4225 1 i915 libata 133632 1 ahci sdhci_pci 5581 0 sdhci 13966 1 sdhci_pci firewire_ohci 19676 0 firewire_core 36848 2 firewire_sbp2,firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1307 1 firewire_core scsi_mod 122149 5 firewire_sbp2,sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata i2c_core 15712 6 videodev,i2c_i801,i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit video 17445 1 i915 mmc_core 45686 1 sdhci led_class 2433 2 iwlcore,sdhci usbcore 122034 5 uvcvideo,btusb,usbhid,ehci_hcd nls_base 6377 9 nls_utf8,nls_cp437,hfsplus,hfs,ntfs,vfat,fat,jfs,usbcore e1000e 110047 0 output 1692 1 video thermal 11674 0 thermal_sys 11942 3 processor,video,thermal button 4650 1 i915 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
