Did you actually test this? If this really happens then it can be

fixed in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod by checking if
compressed
modules are being installed in the initramfs.
Yes, I tested it. On a kernel built with CONFIG_MODULE_DECOMPRESS=n
modules were not being loaded and I was dropped at the initramfs shell.
I fixed it by adding a hook with
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5
but I'm not sure what the best way to detect the path is.
