[bug#55231] [PATCH v1] initrd: Allow extra search paths with ‘initrd-ext

Hi,

My $0.02 on 'initrd-extra-module-paths' vs 'kernel-loadable-modules': if the 
initrd code is smart enough to not include the entire packages and only 
includes the requested modules from the packages (which I think is already true 
based on behavior observed some time ago), then not having to duplicate the 
list would be preferable.

I found this issue in the tracker after being surprised that the initrd builder 
ignored 'kernel-loadable-modules' with 'initrd-modules' only working for 
modules that are included in the primary linux kernel package. That surprise 
over the incompatibility between 'initrd-modules' and 'kernel-loadable-modules' 
is also why I've been relatively vocal about the patch. ;)

Cheers,
Kaelyn
