This is a great idea, really nice!

I would like to add, talking about tried support, that yaird is tested by me 
on a amd64 system with lvm on raid and it works out of the box, from the 
changelog of initramfs-tools it seems to support also evms, which is really 
tricky to use it out-of-the box in sarge and also in etch, I will try that 
soon and report here if needed.
