Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

From initramfs-tools 0.118 (Oct. 2014):
  * [d5f4cd6] lsinitramfs: Parse and list files that include early microcode.
    Thanks to Brett Parker and Olivier Berger. (Closes: #717805)

So the manpage description as the following is incorrect.
| BUGS
|        lsinitramfs  cannot deal with multiple-segmented initramfs images, such
|        as those created when an early  (uncompressed)  initramfs  with  system
|        firmware is prepended to the regular compressed initrams, or when over‐
|        lay data is appended to the initramfs.

So please knock off these lines.

In addition to this, I wonder why not offer utility to extract the
regular compressed initrams by using the same code with trivial changes.
It is pain to manually extract the new initrd image content.

I attach patch here one as example against the git master.

Hmmm...

This needs to be updated.
