While patches to enchance initrd-tools are generally welcome
please keep in mind that the description of initrd-tools states:

   This package contains tools needed to generate an initrd image
   suitable for booting a prepackaged Linux kernel image (as shipped
   with the Debian main distribution).  It does not cater for other uses
   of initrd at the moment.
