No big deal for me, but wheezy/sid systems with a pre-686 processor will
likely have a totally broken initramfs if libc6-i686 gets installed
accidentally.
This happens because the code in copy_exec() that finds the path to the
unoptimized library assumes that these libraries reside directly in
{/usr,}/lib and does not handle the multiarch path case.
Attached is a patch against git master that works for me:

Subject: [PATCH] copy_exec: Handle optimized libraries under multiarch paths
In a multiarch world, libraries are not directly installed under
{/usr,}/lib, but one directory below. Adjust the search accordingly.
Closes: #636495

Bug#636495: initramfs-tools: installs optimized libraries into the initramfs
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.99
Severity: important
My initramfs contains a libc6 that is optimized for i686:

Thinking about it again, this is probably not going to happen since ldd will print the path of the unoptimized library if the optimized one does not work on the current processor. So there is only a problem if the initramfs is generated on a more capable machine and then transferred.
