Special thanks to Samuel for his help in this. Two remarks: 1. Practically, the ability to embed BRLTTY in initramfs means that one becomes able to have an encrypted hard drive and to have braille support for entering the passphrase to access it. 2. As suggested by Samuel privately, it may be suitable to have the support for embedding BRLTTY in initramfs upstreamed so that this feature becomes available in all distributions, especially in the context of being able to encrypt ones hard drive. Sébastien.
