Any thoughts on this? Is there any reason why the symlinked files should
not be kept in the initrd by reference with all the versions of the
corresponding targets (recursively since /cdsl.local is itself bind-linked)
being put in the initrd as well? It complicates things a bit, but I can't
see a better option right now. As it is at the moment, neither /boot nor
the initrd can be shared wherever the cdsl symlinked files are required in
the initrd.
