I'm not using it! The above linux-image package invokes it. I never asked for it. If I remove yaird, the linux-image package complains that it doesn't find mkinitrd.yaird. Even if I generate the initrd.img file using a different utility, the linux-image package still tries (and fails) to invoke mkinitrd.yaird every time. I have installed update-initramfs, however the linux-image package still looks for yaird. Nothing in /etc/alternatives suggests an alterative. I like apt's dependency management, but it does bring another level of complexity.
