And in the end we will never ship. Because there will be always a bug that
causes the delay. But I can only give recommendations. The decision will
be made by the project manager (Stephan Kulow).

We use the same configuration. But we need to decide which programs and
modules we include in initrd (or do you think we should include the hole hard
disk in initrd). There are four options

 1) Hard-code such things in initrd.
 2) Use the comments I implemented.
 3) Express dependencies not in install lines but with an additional mechanism
    (which may be done for 11.2).
 4) Try to parse the install lines. That is error-prone. I don't want that.

I used (2). Point.
