not really, because dpkg-reconfigure linux-image... should be called,
which creates the initrd.

This should work. But --initrd only saves a configuration option
somewhere inside the kernel package, that an initrd will be created
when this kernel poackage ist installed. The initrd is not included in
the package itself IIRC.
