I am not one of the maintainers for initramfs-tools, just a user who happened
to notice this bug report.  But as a temporary circumvention, you may be able
to work around this problem by listing the extra modules you need in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.  I was able to circumvent a similar problem by
doing this.  (See bug report 588452.)
