Easy answer: make a copy of your special initrd, then turn off the
immutable bit, then let dpkg do its thing and be happy, then replace
the initrd with your copy and restore the immutable bit.
Harder answer: probably edit /etc/kernel-img.conf and change the
setting of do_initrd. But I've never tried that, so I don't know
exactly what it does. At best, I'd imagine it might turn off *all*
initrd creations, which would affect your *other* kernels too, not
just this one.
