don't think both features mix equaly well.

first of all the ignore mechanism should be more flexible,
allowing to pass a list of things like an
EXCLUDE="lvm2,legacylvm,keymap,cryptopensc,cryptroot"
in initramfs.conf

second the other box feature request needs deeper structural changes
hadn't time to get along yet and didn't see anyhting conclusive yet.

please go for latest git, has lots of changes, thanks:
http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git;a=summary
(that will land soonest in sid)

but i don't think that I'd want to merge this proposal as is currently,
due to aboves points.
