initramfs-tools 0.92bubuntu58 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu58) lucid; urgency=low

  * Add new initramfs-tools-bin package containing a binary that uses
    libudev to wait for udev to create the udev device, or wait for udev
    to finish processing if we catch it in the act, and returns the
    filesystem type as already probed by udev.
    - This avoids calls to udevadm settle, which make us wait for irrelevant
      modules that we don't need.
    - This avoids duplicate calls to blkid, which since they probe the block
      device directly, are expensive
    - This does not use fstype; which avoids issues with that and blkid
      returning different answers (since everything else throughout the
      entire system now uses blkid)
  * scripts/local: Rewrite to use wait-for-root rather than looping over
    our own shell attempts to do the same.
  * mkinitramfs:
    - include wait-for-root
    - mkinitramfs: Don't quote modules.*map, so we actually expand it.
  * hooks/thermal:
    - don't force load fan or thermal, they're generally built-in and if not
      will be loaded by udev anyway
  * scripts/panic/keymap:
    - auto-generated from the init-top keymap file, with the OPTION= removed,
      so keymap will always be set on panic

  * Remove accidentally included test initramfs.  :-)
