This option is just a bad idea. Initramfs creation is too important to get wrong, and running it from outside the root FS has too many gotchas, the worst of them being:

In general, dealing with the extra luggage of the base directory makes the codebase more complicated than it needs to be (see all the '_' prefixed functions which are called from add functions). In favor of simplifying the code, and making it more maintainable, kill this off and force the sane option of chroot'ing into an install if the need arises.

If no one objects, I'll be removing this with next proper release.
