That sounds to me like addressing the wrong problem. Maybe what should
be done is that update-initramfs updates *all* the images, whatever
happens, but a copy of the kernel and initramfs images used to boot the
system as it is at the moment should be kept somewhere and a special
grub/lilo/whatever item like "Last successful boot setup" should be added
using these.
