the verbose mode of latest update-initramfs will show you which modules
gets added, printing on each run "FATAL: Module af_packet not found."
seems not like a good idea as update-initramfs also targets users
which build in some modules which previously where modules.
(initrd-tools fails with an error message in those cases).
please try: 
update-initramfs -v -u
