The reason for yaird favored by recent kernels is simply that yaird was
in working condition and initramfs-tools not when 2.6.14 was released.
The plan is to favor each tool equally much the next months to come.
If d-i decides to use only one tool, then I believe it makes most sense
to coordinate between teams and make the tool used by d-i the one
favored by the kernels as well, when getting closer to release.
Still it might make sense to implement the debian-cd magic, as it would
probably be easier to do magic there than rebuild kernels, if for some
reason the choice needs to changed late in the game (like development
snapshots or CDDs wanting different favorism).
