Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o

Subject tells the story. Appears the images generated by initramfs-tools
completely ignore the `rdev` setting that the kernel was given to the
kernel. While 99% of users may be explicitly passing the root device via
passing "root=/dev/foo" through the bootloader, if that is absent one
would think the value from `rdev` would be honored.

(yeah, it's an ancient method, but not officially deprecated)

If the bootloader passes an initramfs to the kernel, that overrides any
rdev parameter.  This is nothing to do with the contents of the
initramfs.
