Same problem here, 

First found the waiting for device problem making boot fail. Booting from an
older kernel image succeeded, but when upgrading kernel package I found
exact above problem.

Downgrading to testing initramfs-tools seems to help building the image (not
yet rebooted). Created image has size similar to that of working image. Note
that the image causing the "waiting for device problem" was remarkably
smaller.
