Hello,

the 'mkinitrd' package contains the '/sbin/nash' program and has
dependencies on lot of low-level stuff (e.g. device-mapper, dmraid,
lvm2).

'nash' and this deps are used for different purposes:

* 'nash' is called by 'initscripts' during every boot
* the low-level stuff is used during kernel upgrade only


Therefore, they should be packaged separately.
