I think this is more a initrd-tools issue, and as initrd-tools is going to go away in the near future ... That said, did you perchance try to set MODULES=dep instead of MODULES=most in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf ? I asked for this to be the default on powerpc, since i had the same kind of huge, useless initrd problems, but as it was difficult to get this change in even after asking for it during months and months, i guess it didn't do to do the same for x86.
