Improvements in this release
============================

- When also installing to the removable media path, include the relevant mokmanager binary (#1034409).
- Allow multiple initrd parameters (#838177, #820838).
* partman-auto-raid:
- Add support for LVM-on-LUKS-on-RAID, via a new "crypto-lvm" keyword, similar to the existing "lvm" (#1036347).

- Install dosfstools if we have a FAT ESP.
