+Description: Debian Live initramfs hook
+ live-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs-tools, used to generate a initramfs
+ capable to boot live systems, such as those created by live-helper. This
+ includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.
+ .
+ At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live"
+ directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like
+ squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using
+ aufs or unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
+ .
+ You probably do not want to install this package onto a non-live system,
+ although it will do no harm.
+ .
+ live-initramfs is a fork of casper <http://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/>.
