Note that one consideration is consistency between Debian and Ubuntu in d-i. Ubuntu have implemented initramfs-tools and in fact Colin has committed the code to support initramfs-tools today. Colin has left the option to also/alternatively include yaird open though. One thing to keep in mind if we should go for initramfs-tools. debian-cd will include yaird and dependencies by default on CD images to satisfy kernel-image dependencies as yaird is listed first in the dependency list. So we'd need some debian-cd magic to exclude yaird and include initramfs-tools. If an arch has a strong preference for "the other" tool if we should select one, I guess this could be supported. This will in practice put the burden of maintaining the code and testing installations on the porter(s) involved though.
