Thanks Pedro for the LP! Related Debian MR:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/makedumpfile/-/merge_requests/1

The approach taken in the above Debian MR is pretty complex and involve more 
than just kdump from initrd.
The idea to implement such feature in a simple and safe way would be to have it 
as an optional configuration and when that feature is set, an initramfs hook 
adds the necessary tooling to the kdump initrd; then a script could run and 
collect the kdump from init-bottom (or local/fs-bottom).

Cascardo, do you agree with that?
Cheers,


Guilherme
