This should be harmless. Whether or not you have these packages
installed should not change the behaviour, and a user can reasonably
expect to have initrd and non-initrd kernels on the same machine.

This is the bug. If you did not use make-kpkg --initrd ....
your kernel image postinst should have $initrd not equal to Yes; and
the postinst should export INITRD = No to the environment before
calling the postint.d.
Could you please attach the kernel image postinst file? Also, a
log of the installation run migh help.

We always depended on intramfs tools; but the ones we depended
on became obsolete. But, since a use may have initramfs tools installed
anyway, this is not a solution.
