Yaird tries very hard to only only build initial ramdisks that it is 
confident will work. This causes failure each time the kernel changes 
its boot-related hints in /sys or other places needed to safely resolve 
booting needs of the new kernel from a running kernel.

It is not true that yaird "breaks on every new kernel".

Current behaviour is a careful design decision, not a bug.

Sure each change needs an update to yaird. But the potential for these 
kinds of bugs are not considered a bug by the maintainer of this 
package.

Keeping this bugreport open until bug#457177 is resolved.
