I'm not sure why you're mentioning initramfs-tools, since there seems to
be wide agreement that the kms driver shouldn't be loaded in the
initramfs.

I'm also puzzled by your assertion that this method is "not upstream
recommended", since it was acked by Carl Worth (see #555906).

You say changing the boot parameters is "how other distributions are
doing it", without any sort of backing for that assertion (I know at
least fedora and ubuntu configure their kernels with
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y, which Debian can't do for squeeze without
breaking the upgrade path).

So less assertions and more evidence would be nice.

Cheers,
Julien
