Well, i am planing another kernel-package upload where you can force the
thing. That said, yes, the fix is in the kernel svn, but they maintain
initramfs in bazaar or something. Maybe you can just apply the patch above to
your installed copy of initramfs-tools, or grab it from SVN or something.
Alternatively, please help bringing evms support to yaird, so you can use that
one, i have some doubts about depending on a packages whose maintainers don't
really cooperate with the kernel team, and then claim i don't communicate
about the issue, but then i guess we have many other packages in this case in
the archive :)

svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/utils/initramfs-tools, i think. From
memory though, so maybe typoed.
