grub provides an interactive shell.

Good point. Thus it looks like there is no right way other than not
to introduce bugs into initramfs-producing packages. Not using -k
all may mean that your existing initramfs cannot boot the current
system anymore, and using it may mean that your previous and only
good initramfs now also gets infected by the
I-won't-let-you-boot-no-more virus.
