hmm, I was mentioning the issue on IRC, and Kano told me to check in 
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer
... and lo and behold, it's hardcoded to load i915:

       if modprobe -q intel_agp && modprobe -q i915; then
                FB=kms
        fi
        ;;

The so suggested that I change the conditional to "grep -q i915
/proc/modules", and add udev to PREREQ.

Perhaps we should change the description: "initramfs-tools framebuffer
script loads i915 even when hardware not present"
