I've further entrenched my workaround by doing:

 echo pata_macio >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
 update-initramfs -k $(uname -r) -u

After which, the system boots as normal.

Most users won't be able to figure this out as the Right Fix, though, so
this probably needs to be detected automatically somehow.  Feel free to
reassign if you think this bug belongs in udev or initramfs-tools or
some other package.

Thanks for maintaining the linux kernel in debian,
