Bug#275421: Install fails after kernel selection; initrd-tools dependency not met

[Barry Hawkins <barry@alltc.com>]

Reinstall attempted and failed.  Performed install using 
'expert-powerpc' option as before but chose debian.mirrors.pair.com 
instead of ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu.  All error messages were identical. 
 This is peculiar since the same unit with the same snapshot installed 
fine using 'install-powerpc' and debian.mirrors.pair.com, as can be 
seen in the following installation report:

The only other difference was one minor change to prior partition table
