* Use detailed logging now for debian/changelog. We have at least

    three people hacking now, and details would probably be useful.

  * debian/dirs: Sort and add usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks

  * debian/initramfs-tools.examples: Add docs/example_hook and
    docs/example_hook_cpiogz

  * debian/initramfs-tools.install: Pretty Print.

  * debian/rules: Ensure that mkinitramfs is executable

  * docs/example_script: New file

  * init: Add concept of 'quiet', be verbose if not specified

  * mkinitramfs: Do not load script functions until needed
    Clear up comments / documentation
    Use DESTDIR instead of TMPDIR
    Add ability to link in extra hunks into the cpio file
    Cosmetic cleanups

  * scripts/functions: Add lsb stype log_FOO_msg functions

+#
+# This is an example hook script.  It will be run by 'mkinitramfs'
+# when it creates the image.  It's job is to decide which files to
+# install, then install them into the staging area, where the
+# initramfs is being created.  This happens when a new 'linux-image'
+# package is installed, or when the administrator runs 'mkinitramfs'
+# by hand to update an initramfs image.
+#
+# TODO: What about the case where you install something that should be
+#	added to the initramfs, but the linux-image it relates to has
+#	already been installed previously?  Does this happen often
+#	enough that it needs to be handled?  How can it be handled?
+#	
+#	* Think about the 'usplash'.  The initramfs will need to be
+#	 updated if a theme change or update is desired.  Maybe it
+#	 should not be totally automatic, but offered on upgrade
+#	 predicated on a user response to a debconf question?  That
+#	 issue needs to be explored and a solution specified.
+#
+#  * Do not assume that any needed subdirectories have been created
+#	yet, but don't bail out if they are already there.
+#
+#  * All of the standard system tools are available, of course, since
+#	this hook is running in the real system, not the initramfs.
+#
+#  * TODO: ... ?  Anything else to tell them in this bullet-list?
+#
+
+#
+# The environment contains at least:
+#
+#  CONFDIR -- usually /etc/mkinitramfs, can be set on mkinitramfs
+#		 command line.
+#
+#  DESTDIR -- The staging directory where we are building the image.
+#
+# TODO: Decide what environment variables are meaningful and defined
+#	in this context, then document them as part of the interface.
+#
+
+
+#
+# List the soft prerequisites here.  This is a space separated list of
+# names, of scripts that are in the same directory as this one, that
+# must be run before this one can be.
