and indeed, the initrd is not in /boot:

Heck, it's not even in the package itself:

Something really wrong happened when this backport was built...

Sigh... /boot was full. i don't quite understand why the postinst script
wouldn't tell me that, but removing an old kernel fixed the problem and
I was able to build the initrd correctly.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip.
