That turned out to be user error.  During my conversation with maks, I
realized that I had the old initramfs-tools from etch installed.  I
installed the one from sid and now it works.

FWIW, here are the sizes of the ramdisk with MODULES=dep and =most:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2051869 Mar 25 17:33 foo-dep
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 3534281 Mar 25 17:31 foo-most
