It looks like that the two binary packages were built on different places but
have basically the same content.

It is possible to invite the autodetection from initrd using the
appropriate ioctl.  Our not too elegant solution is available here:

http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.dsc
http://debian.caesar.elte.hu/dists/woody/itk/source/initrd-raid-autorun_0.2.tar.gz

This contains a script which hooks the automagically generated ramdisk
during the build phase.
