/etc/kernel-img.conf contained the line ramdisk = /usr/sbin/yaird
I changed it to ramdisk = /usr/sbin/update-initramfs, and the installation
continued without errors.
I now have squeeze up and running. Tanks for helping me out on this.
Best regards, Hans

yaird is not supported in Squeeze. Purge the package and install
initramfs-tools instead. Then try again. If you still get the
failure, search /etc/kernel/postinst.d and /etc/kernel/postrm.d
for yaird-related scripts that didn't get purged when you purged
the yaird package. If you find any, erase (rm) them. Also check
/etc/initramfs/post-update.d for any yaird-related scripts and
erase them from there too. Then try again.
I had a similar problem described here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/10/msg00264.html
Stephen Powell gave the same advice as above. :-) Following that,
I tried this:
# grep -r yaird /etc/*
And got this:
/etc/kernel-img.conf: ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
I.e. in /etc/kernel-img.conf is a line you need to change to this:
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/update-initramfs
Worked for me. I wonder if a bug ever got filed....
cheers,
Joel
