A longer and possibly more helpful answer: 1. initramfs-tools is primarily meant for booting a "real" system. The "root" kernel parameter says where that system is. It doesn't make sense to me to overload that parameter. 2. An initramfs is not the same thing as a ramdisk. Treating device names matching /dev/ram* specially could possibly conflict with a configuration where both an initramfs and a ramdisk are used. 3. There is already a way to tell initramfs-tools abort the boot process and start a shell - the "break" parameter, documented in initramfs-tools(8). (Hmm, that should probably be in section 7.)
