Hardcodes list of SCSI drivers

Bug Description

New SCSI drivers are added from time to time, but initramfs-tools (which needs to add them to the initramfs) doesn't notice, as it hardcodes a list. Instead, it should automatically pick up new drivers when they are added to the kernel.

This seems to have been fixed with this upload:

initramfs-tools (0.69ubuntu21) feisty; urgency=low

  * update-initramfs: Fix it so -v actually works (bad quoting).
  * hook-functions: Split sata and pata out of scsi into an ata section for
    auto module adding.
  * Make use of copy_module_dir for ata, scsi and ide, so we don't have to
    keep a hard list. This does increase the size of the initrd, but that's
    only because we are including modules that should be included anyway.
