You can use your old "init thingy" if you don't need any modules inside it. The other stuff normally doesn't change. Since most setups use modules, you could experience troubles... The other way would be - as you already proposed - to create an "init thingy" per kernel, eg initramfs-3.2.0-r1. If you use grub2 the grub2-mkconfig script searches for these (matching the name for your kernel image) and normally it works out of the box. FOr grub legacy (and lilo, i assume) you would need to make matching entries manually.
