initramfs-tools: support different compression tools in mkinitramfs
this version uses /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to determine the compression method, checks kernel and userspace support with fallback to gzip. Since LZO didnt work for me at all with 2.6.33 I left that out for now. (closes: #533903) [ minor changes in mkinitramfs code ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>
