initramfs-tools 0.94 NEWS entry
please review, intend to upload shortly :) initramfs-tools (0.94) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * For better boot speed and due to unusual complications framebuffer, AGP and KMS drivers are dropped out of the generic MODULES=most case. The previously used framebuffer boot script is shipped in the examples for packagers of userspace boot graphics. They may also need to ship a hook file adding the mentioned graphics drivers. For the majority of boxes this is not needed. -- maximilian attems Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:10:34 +0200 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I don't think regular users need to see this; the maintainers of those packages can read the changelog.
