Olaf,
That is *exactly* what a dependency is for: To illustrate when the conditions
of the installed system don't support the package about to be installed. For
releases with an older mkinitrd, that is exactly the case, as demonstrated by
this bug report.
I'm not going to change the configs for the master branch to avoid the
dependency so that you can install the kernel on a release it was never meant
to deploy with. We update the kernel to depend on updated versions of the
closely-related support tools all the time (e.g. udev) and this is no
different.
Also, I'm not going to remove the dependency to let users implement option #2
themselves because that's how we end up with *exactly* this bug report.
