I consider this to be a fairly important bug (it just bit me :^)... Perhaps I misunderstand, but is it true that at present, normal users need to manually update the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools script (and the postrm.d one too) using the "example" script from kernel-package, and this is because the "Debian Build Daemon" could be broken if the script runs update-initramfs inappropriately...
It makes perfect sense not to break Debian's build system, but I think it is also quite undesirable to leave things as they are... I think the script (e.g.: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools) could probably be adapted to detect if it's being invoked during an automated binary build (or not) and "do the right thing"... I imagine that the system builders have a highly automated system for creating the official kernel images, so I would assume that there are environment variables or lock files (or something) that could be tested for to determine if the hook script is running within a "build run" or not (I think that's the issue, right?)...
