Do not change the priority of a bug report. Let the developer decide.
As it looks now, this is first of all not a kernel bug. This could only
be caused by initramfs-tools.
Secondly, it looks to me like a local problem on your system. The cpio
binary on my up-to-date dapper system (yes, it's ppc) recognizes the
--quiet option.
I suspect you have a locally installed cpio program. First check which
cpio is being used with "which cpio". If it's not /usr/bin/cpio, then
there's your problem. If it is, then run "cpio --version". If it doesn't
show this:
cpio (GNU cpio) 2.6
Then you have installed a version of cpio over your default installed
one. Reinstall the cpio package with:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install cpio
