  Recently update-initramfs seems to use dracut-install as a backend and
  the logic for selecting modules for installation has apparently
  changed.

  I'm using dkms version of i40e instead of kernel in-tree module.
  Both files exist in /lib/modules/version directory
  # find /lib/modules/6.8.0-60-generic -name i40e.ko.zst
  ./updates/dkms/i40e.ko.zst
  ./kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.ko.zst
  but until dracut-install, only the new one was copied to initramfs (I think previous logic involved parsing modules.dep)

  dracut-install prefers the old one:
  # update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) -v 2>&1 | grep i40e
  dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_yQoej6/lib/modules/6.8.0-60-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e'
  dracut-install: cp '/lib/modules/6.8.0-60-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.ko.zst' '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_yQoej6/lib/modules/6.8.0-60-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.ko.zst'
