A duplicate of this bug (bug#431927) was fixed in version 0.0.12-21.
Unfortunately, other bugs are considered so serious (by Maximilian, the
maintainer of initramfs-tools, not by me) that the newer yaird is kept
out of testing.
You can either abandon yaird or pick the package in unstable which runs
fine on testing too - with one quirk: You need to comment out INPUT from
/etc/yaird/Default.cfg (and instead load keyboard modules manually as
dscribed in that file, if you need to activate encrypted filesystems).
Kind regards,
