Hmm. As far as the installer goes, having the debian-installer mark the 
device with |x-initrd.attach| which appears to have similar 
functionality (systemd fomat) but not |initramfs| seems like an 
oversight or a bug in itself. The installer should leave the computer in 
a bootable state. I suppose the installer should either also add the 
|initramfs| option, or else the |x-initrd.attach |flag it already adds 
should produce similar behaviour for the purposes of determining drives 
required at initramfs time.
