I just faced this same bug on the XServe G5 box, when installing 2.6.18-3 on a previously etch system from a few days ago. Removing initramfs-tools and installing yaird did not fix the problem, and the bug is present in the kernel postinst. I suppose this is a kernel-package bug of some kind, reassigning there, as well as bumping the severity to critical, as this makes the kernel unusable.
