In general, depending on the kernel configuration, you can do without an initrd. However since the configuration of the new kernel doesn't differ much from the old one, it could be that you must have an initrd because essential components are compiled as modules. Another option is that for your hardware the difference in the configuration of the old and new kernels is important. The new boot loader menu items didn't have the initrd lines because it identified the new kernel as not requiring an initrd. Which is correct since you didn't make-kpkg --initrd. -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
