^^^^^^^
I dare lower this to "important", as I believe it does not violate
policy, and even if annoying the error is not fatal.

Indeed, yaird is too stupid in parsing this.
Erik, upstream maintainer, is listening here as well, and I hope he can
quickly extend the parser to handle this and "auto" which fails
similarly.
Until fixed, the obvious workaround is to change to only use one of the
options.
Alternatively you can try using initramfs-tools instead of yaird:
Install initramfs-tools, and either uninstall yaird or change priority
of ramdisk tools by adding the following to /etc/kernel-img.conf (in a
single line):
ramdisk
= /usr/sbin/mkinitrd /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
