Is there any chance you could give D-I Stretch Alpha 1 a shot and
confirm it works fine? We could then think about backporting the patch
to jessie.

But I suspect it might not work, because of the missing initramfs-tools
fix:

initramfs-tools maintainers, could you please have a look? It looks to
me like a possibly easy patch (even if we lately that there might be
some fun with lvm and recursion a few days ago…).

Mraw,
KiBi.
