i take it all back... i just tried initramfs-tools and it failed to boot
my system properly... whereas yaird almost got everything right.
the main thing i'd say yaird is doing wrong is that it is specifying the
root raid devices explicitly rather than allowing mdadm to scan the
partitions list and assemble by UUID...
maybe try the patch below on your yaird configuration and then run:
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
which will rebuild your initrd with this change... then see if it survives
your boot testing.

p.s. this patch has been submitted to debian bugdb...
