Aha.  What it is used for?  Who are using the file today?  I suspect
that fact that the code to create it already is in initramfs-tools does
not affect the amount of confusion its name will cause.  Do you agree
with my observation about the name being a bit misleading, or do you
find it to be a good and non-confusing name?  Should it be renamed or
kept the way it is?
