gen_initramfs script requires pax-utils #4

It seems that lddtree is used to detect broken binaries which is part of pax-utils. This is not documented anywhere (nor any other software required) by the look of it so I had to look at the initramfs generation script to find out what's going on as well as make a search what software provides lddtree.

I guess using ldd should be fine and reduce the dependencies needed. I don't know if pax-utils is part of "system" (or whatever the meta word for base is on Gentoo) but installing pax-utils just for generating initramfs on distribution other than Gentoo doesn't seem right to me.

Cheers!

pax-utils is a dependency in the ebuild. and pax-utils provide lddtree, which is what we need.
