MC runs the initialize method only when the initialize method itself
changes. This is trying to mimic the semantics of changesets: if you
were distributing a changeset that included some methods on a class
but not the #initialize method, it wouldn't be run then either. But
you're saying you want it to be run every time any method in the
class changes? Or maybe that all initialize methods in the package
should be run any time the package changes?
