[Morty <1109029@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just in case someone is interested: I've built an ppa that allows installing draucut next to initramfs: 
https://launchpad.net/~morty/+archive/ubuntu/dracut-release

And yes, they do conflict as they both want to build the init.rd. And
initramfs-tools wins, because i comes after d. I fixed that using dpkg-
divert.

Bug description:
  Many core packages depend on initramfs-tools when they should actually
  depend on linux-initramfs-tool (virtual package provided by initramfs-
  tools and dracut).

  Debian seems to be using "Depends: initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-
  tool" for almost every relevant package.

  See also bug #1108987, which is about the fact that dracut shouldn't
  conflict with initramfs-tools.
