This bug is a feature request for backward-compatible cmdline parsing.

NFSROOT is not a documented parameter in initramfs-tools(8), only nfsroot.

IMHO, people who have old ROMs that append stuff that's no longer compatible with current initramfs should do a two stage boot: have their ROM load pxelinux or something that can boot linux with the right parameters. AFAIK, this is possible. If it wasn't, I'd be more inclined to agree with the backward compat request.
