Ah, I thought the initrd image also came from the linux-image package.

Well, before I tested I did another dist-upgrade (just got back from 
holidays), and this installed both a new kernel and a new 
initramfs-tools, and now I can just boot the kernel nicely. So, as far 
as I'm concerned the bug can be closed. I think regenerating the initrd. 
img would have worked, though, but I can't check that now.
