dmraid support in initrd

Bug Description

The dmraid package should contain hooks and scripts for mkinitramfs in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/. This will ensure created initrds will support booting from fakeraids.

Bug #22107 has the needed hooks/ and local-top/ files attached.

Once the dmraid package is complete, it can be put on the installer cd (that would fix #22107).

Fabio, I apologize for subscribing you, but are you the maintainer of dmraid? There is noone listed in launchpad.

I dont think this has anything to do with dmraid in universe per se

Well, the dmraid package should provide these hooks, not initramfs-tools. That's the idea of the initramfs-tools hook directories. Cf the hook /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev which is delivered by the udev package.

Ideally, dmraid would be in main, and on the installer cd, of course :)
