 DESCRIPTION
-  These scripts is intended to be used with initramfs-tools, which is a similar
-  software product to "dracut" (which is more used in RedHat based distributions,
-  and is mainly used by Debian GNU/Linux and derivates to create a initramfs so
-  that the system can be booted of a ZFS filesystem. If you have no need or
-  interest for this, then it can safely be ignored.
+  These scripts are intended to be used with initramfs-tools, which is a similar

   These script were written with the primary intention of being portable and
   usable on as many systems as possible.
