well your usage falls under advanced messing with your box,
so i'd expect such a user to be able to read man initramfs-tools
to find the corresponding bootflag.

no the logic is not the same.
the fstype can be probed in a generic way whereas you are asking
for a hardcoding for a special box.
the fstype can be probed as the corresponding root bootarg is passed
to initramfs and yes d-i takes care of that one.
