It's very simple to setup and follows the same logic as udev running
in the rootfs, There is absolutely no "increase of complexity"
involved if you use udev in the real root anyway, you just copy the
binaries and the rules, and on bootup you wait for /dev/root to show
up, mount it and start /sbin/init. Custom busybox stuff does not
support any non-trivial feature a "general purpose" distro needs to
support today.
I would love to see some explicit instructions, then I could carry
them into Debian,
What do you miss from the Ubuntu setup?
which is currently using full-blown udev with
initramfs.
Which is the right thing to do, yes.
i believe it is overkill
initramfs should have the sole purpose of finding and mounting the root
filesystem, there is no need in packing it with unneeded junk.
