Comment 9 for bug 156712

Ok, i took the last version for the merge.

About the patch, it seems it's still needed, this is the output in Hardy with installed the debian version 0.0.12-24:

gaspa@cthulhu:/mnt/sorgenti/ubuntu/yaird$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
Running depmod.
mkinitrd.yaird: opzione non valida -- u
Terminating...
Failed to create initrd image.

Perhaps it would be better patch kernel-package (or who for him) in order to make scripts indipendent from the ramdisk creator.
But this is available and IMHO there's no reasons for not patching it.

What's your opinion, Cesare? you're more experienced than me, so, i'll listen surely your suggestions.
(anyway i'm going on to remake the right diff...)
