You should have either yaird or initramfs-tools installed, yaird has the
benefit of not needing udev or hotplug.

That said, there is a dependency on :

  yaird | initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-tool
 
Which should have pulled in yaird, but apparently hasn't, can you check why ?
Maybe this is due to the preinst checking imposed by k-p ? Manoj, can you
comment on this ? 

Friendly,
