Here is a list I keep to make sure elbe generates an initrd when using
a custom kernel:

    <!-- Magic debs needed for booting custom kernels with grub -->
    <pkg>initramfs-tools</pkg>
    <pkg>klibc-utils</pkg>
    <pkg>kmod</pkg>
    <pkg>libklibc</pkg>
    <pkg>libuuid-perl</pkg>
    <pkg>linux-base</pkg>

HTH,
