Otherwise the initrd file will not boot the kernel, instead returning a Kernel Panic and

initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive

lsinitcpio -a was helpful in spotting this issue:

==> ERROR: Newer lz4 stream format detected! This may not boot!

@ProBackup-nl
all you need is to add a comment in the source
that explains why that '-l' option is there, cf.
https://github.com/rear/rear/wiki/Coding-Style
and then I will 'just merge' it.

Many thanks for your valuable contributions to ReaR!
They help a lot to improve ReaR.
