For a proposed fix:

I would suggest that
1. /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/50-dracut.install be moved to dracut instead of dracut-core (dracut-core should be inert and not run hooks, and dracut conflicts with initramfs-tools which reduces ambiguity as to what should generate the initrd),
2. renamed /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/60-dracut.install so it runs after /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/55-initrd.install
3. 60-dracut.install should detect the initrd.img-$KERNEL_VERSION that was just copied by 55-initrd.install, and not run if it finds it.  Because the hooks are all in dracut, the prior initrd was generated by dracut anyway.

This change preserves /boot/initrd.img-$KERNEL_VERSION, which may be
used by other boot loaders installed in parallel with systemd-boot.  An
advanced user that doesn't need the initrd in /boot can chmod -x
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/dracut, that file is under /etc and so the change
will be preserved by dpkg.

Bug description:
  With the combination of using dracut and systemd-boot from plucky-
