Hey Dmitry,
I just downgraded the severity to minor, but I guess that you're right
with the assumption that yaird should automatically add these modules
when they're needed for an encrypted root fs.
I'm not sure how initramfs-tools behaves though, so I'll wait for a
comment from David who knows much more about ramdisk stuff.
David, can we expect that yaird handles this case automatically? Then I
would reassign the bug to yaird. Otherwise we should at least document
it somewhere, as Dmitry suggested.
