Do you have a method to force rebuilds of the initramfs?
The argument you used against static linking was that my statically
linked binary has a library with a data corruption bug and thus when I
go to rescue my machine I might inadvertently delete everything. How
is having the library in my initramfs any different (even dynamically
linked?)
