+Subject: [PATCH v7 1/3] meta/support: Generate a custom initramfs
+
+This package sets the Parameters for mkinitramfs/update-intramfs
+before it regenerates the initrd.img of debian with a modified version.
+
+Use cases are the remove unnecessary kernel modules to reduce the
+size of the initrd by using the parameters:
+```
+INITRAMFS_MODULES = "list"
+INITRAMFS_MODULE_LIST += "ext4"
+```
+
+Set the boot root during the initrd generation by setting `INITRAMFS_ROOT`.
+
+see also man pages of mkinitramfs and initramfs.conf.
