I;m windering why you need this. in fai-make-nfsroot the script does
chmod a+r $NFSROOT/boot/initrd.img-*
which sets the permissions correctly.

Do you have more details on this? I'm interested in why the new dracut
from Debian does not work in a Ubuntu nfsroot.

You should not use any 3.X version of FAI these days.

Yes, give it a try. 
Someone posted on this list that the version 4.1.1 from
https://launchpad.net/~fai/+archive/ubuntu/testing works, so I guess
FAI 4.2.1 from the fai-project repository should also work.
