Well, it is an experimental package, it was buggy, this is fixed in SVN and
will be solved for the next upload, and we have grander plans for this, which
are currently being implemented.

Oh well, try yaird then, i hesitated in proposing this one, but i guess it is
a good idea, since initramfs-tools is currently broken. You need to set :
ramdisk=/usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
or something such in /etc/kernel-img.conf and rerun dpkg-reconfigure on the
kernel image.
