+Subject: [PATCH] udev hwdb: Change error message regarding missing hwdb.bin
+ back to debug.
+
+When used in an initramfs, it's expected that the hwdb.bin file is
+not present (it makes for a very large initramfs otherwise).
+
+While it's nice to tell the user about this, as it's not strictly
+speaking an error we really shouldn't be so forceful in our
+reporting.
