But it works for me, so how am I supposed to know in what way it went
wrong for you?

That is not true; many Debian users use custom kernels and generally
initramfs-tools works for them.  We do try to support custom kernels.

They're not supposed to do that.  I did find one instance where they do,
and intend to fix it, but it only affects the way we find out what
firmware files may be needed.

Yes, but that doesn't tell us what went wrong.  The error messages you
sent were for an incorrect invocation of mkinitramfs, not for the
package installation.
