Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: normal

Allow hooks to supply specific root mount failure handlers.  These can
both report more specific failure reasons, and in some cases may even be
able to attempt recovery.  This is useful for more complex scenarios
such as LVM and mdadm setups.

We use this in Ubuntu to allow augmented lvm2 and mdadm hooks to recover
failed raids and the like.

NOTE: that the splash handling here may well be Ubuntu specific.
