i'm not saying this is any better than 'regular' nfsroot etc, but it's
how it is atm: if you boot a debian-live system, it will by itself
(live-boot) handle finding the rootfs and mounting it from the nfs
server, not the initramfs-tools mechanism.

if you specify initramfs-tools parameters for nfsroot, you end up with a
conflicting (or different) result. if you want debian-live booted over
nfs, only do what man live-boot tells you todo and nothing more and
nothing else.

at some point, the network booting code (and the networking code too)
needs really to be revised to profit more from initramfs-tools (and
dracut, when dracut is being used), but in the meantime do above.
