ehh it was fun. the "Breaks: initramfs << 0.116" was because i had
tried building on wheezy, and the initramfs tools on wheezy resulted
in 50 warnings at boot and being unable to find the rootfs. baad :)
upgrading to initramfs-tools 0.116, problem went away immediately.

next i'll endeavour to deploy it on my laptop, it can't do any harm
as right now i'm running entirely without udev or mdev!
