By "different setup", I mostly meant to ask about the initrd reference.
BTW, on stable debian I have:
ii kernel-package 7.15 Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
and on unstable:
ii kernel-package 7.43 Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
zcat kernel-package/changelog.gz | sed -n '/7\.14/q;p' | wc -l

So maybe you should upgrade kernel-package anyway.

If all is well apart from some messages during installation time, then
maybe there is not such a big problem after all. You could upgrade the
kernel-package and rebuild and install a kernel-image for the sake of it.
