At least on my box (Debian sid amd64, daily upgraded) it's the
contrary:
=====
gismo:/boot# grep MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 
# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
MODULES=most

gismo:/boot# ls -l initrd*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8007495 2007-09-10 08:57 initrd.img-2.6.22-1-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8007571 2007-09-10 08:55 initrd.img-2.6.22-1-amd64.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8008561 2007-09-10 08:57 initrd.img-2.6.22-2-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8008637 2007-09-10 08:53 initrd.img-2.6.22-2-amd64.bak

gismo:/boot# vim /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
gismo:/boot# grep MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf 
# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
MODULES=dep

gismo:/boot# update-initramfs -k 2.6.22-1-amd64 -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-1-amd64

gismo:/boot# ls -l initrd*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4745080 2007-09-10 12:21 initrd.img-2.6.22-1-amd64

The MODULES=dep generated initrd boots without any problem so far.

Thx, bye,
