No, there is no need for that. I committed all the relevant changes from
Ubuntu to d-i some time ago, with the exception of one small change to
IIRC lilo-installer that's waiting for a newer busybox release with
'readlink -f' support. It can be enabled whenever d-i switches to
2.6.13.
Please do not reassign this bug, as initrd-tools really *does* need
fixing. (There's no fix for this bug in Ubuntu yet either.)
