one could easily install in the days yaird and initramfs-tools.
It invovled a stupid entry in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
I think it should be very easy to come up with an update-alternatives
solution, that prioritises the default. (Not Wheezy target but post
release). If you want to try out an initramfs generator you don't
know if it will boot, one shouldn't nuke the known working one.
