According to the kernel-package README.gz one can use the following

In the past I could compile a kernel like that and when I install the
package an initrd image would be generated in /boot. It is no longer
the case. I had to do it by hand recently and I cannot remember now
which command I have used to generate it.
Why this change? Or what am I missing?
This has been discussed:

and it's progress :-(
Now you have to tweak make-kpkg and add your own initrd script.

Hi,
you can just copy example initramfs or yaird scripts from
/usr/share/kernel-package/examples/etc/kernel/ , it's good enough for a
start.
The line you are referring to works if you already compiled a kernel
without initrd, but you can just "rm -r" the source /debian directory,
and run make-kpkg again with the --initrd option, it won't compile the
whole kernel again.
Everything is explained in the READ ME file.
