You could try to make the following change to
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions. It should work for your
particular setup:
--- hook-functions~ 2009-02-10 17:06:17.000000000 +0100
+++ hook-functions 2009-02-10 17:06:53.000000000 +0100

Can you make this change and try "update-initramfs -u" again? Make
sure to revert this change later.
