At that place I would add a step: |

|
| 8 |
1.1: Make a new pass-through wrapper /usr/bin/genkernel that forwards |
| 9 |
all valid optiuons to geninitramfs. Over time we can "move" features |
| 10 |
from Bash-based geninitramfs to the Python-based genkernel. That way |
| 11 |
we save ourselves a big bang problem, several branches. I'm |
| 12 |
experiemnting with that right now. With luck I have something in a |
| 13 |
few hours. |
