Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.71
Severity: serious

mkinitrd only copies /etc/modprobe.conf not /etc/modprobe.d. The first
is not longer built by module-init-tools and therefore non-existent.
This makes it impossible to provide parameters to modules without
building /etc/modprobe.conf by hand.

On s390 each of the storage modules needs parameters, it is not possible
to detect the hardware.
