Looks like that would be a good package to start with, I've requested
the access.

OK. We don't have any yet.

Yeah, but they probably don't plan to include it in F11. If you find
them, please explain OLPC's plans to deploy this with the F11 XO-1.5
build and hence our desires to see it in the F11 tree. 

When they add it to F12, they will be making it a replacement for
mkinitrd, integrating it into the kernel RPM, and so on. They obviously
won't do that for F11 and that's not what we want either. We'd just like
it as a standard Fedora package which does nothing until someone
executes /usr/bin/dracut from the command line to build an initramfs.

Wow..Xavier rocks. It looks like it should work. Thanks for pointing
this out!
