Hello *,

to my understanding, we do not need to ship "linux-initrd" if we can easily
rebuild those on the systems anyway. I would prefer the latter, since that
keeps the update smaller.

This was also raised somewhere in the community a while ago, but I am unable
to find the correspondent thread at the moment.

How do we proceed here?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
