hmm, I was mentioning the issue on IRC, and Kano told me to check in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer
... and lo and behold, it's hardcoded to load i915:
if modprobe -q intel_agp && modprobe -q i915; then FB=kms
fi
;;
The so suggested that I change the conditional to "grep -q i915 /proc/modules", and add udev to PREREQ.
Perhaps we should change the description: "initramfs-tools framebuffer script loads i915 even when hardware not present"
