What steps did you take to configure kernel-package ? Did you read
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz ? Just a short citation:

"With the new kernel-package conventions, you also need the example
scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ and /etc/kernel/postrm.d, to create
and remove the initramfs. Make sure that these scripts pay attention
to the INITRD env variable to determine whether or not to take any
action.


 Let me repeat:
 Since nothing is created automatically. you need to provide a hook
 script for things to happen when you install the kernel image
 package.  The user provides such scripts. For example, to invoke
 mkinitramfs, I did:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs \
    /etc/kernel/postinst.d/
 cp /usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs \
    /etc/kernel/postrm.d/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
"

Maybe that's part of the problem.
