What happens if you remove the initramfs-tools package? Also, check that yaird is the latest version. I had problems building the 2.6.16 image until I upgraded yaird to the latest available in sid. I am only recommending you use yaird because A) it worked for me and B) it looks like yaird only fails because mkinitramfs-kpkg failed before it.
