Package: yaird
Severity: grave

yaird has a bunch of failures that make it not fit for a release:
* overheating - none of the acpi modules lands on initramfs
  for some boxes it is *really* critical to load them earliest
* cmdline - ignores any of the boot passed arguments
  even critical ones like root, rootfs or rootdelay
* missing debian arch support - for example s390 
* UUID, Label - apparently only works for some fs
* missing firmware - several scsi drivers need firmware inside initramfs
  no loader on initramfs nor any mechanism to add it
* missing cryptsetup support see #336599
* no dmraid support
* no usplash support
* brutal hardcoding - breaks ony every new linux image
  either due to /proc, /sys or /boot/config hardcoded parsing
  see #443821 for the latest 2.6.23 variation
* dead upstream - 24 debian revsion


speaking as debian kernel arch maintainer none of aboves topic
saw an improvement since etch release,
thus i'm asking to keep yaird out of testing.
