Official early userspace
+
+ Main source package is initramfs-tools.
+
+
+ Co-developed with Ubuntu and hence sharing all the pain^Wfun of the
+ software and that special relation.
+ In any case a huge step forward after the very special initrd-tools.
+
+
+ initramfs-tools paved the way for pluggable initramfs generators.
+ But, early userspace shouldn't be visible to users.
+ Todays dev sits in dracut. With better maintenance inside the team
+ very likely candidate for 7.0 Debian.
+
+
+ Upcoming challenge: secureboot.
