[Unit 193 <1109029@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package kbd - 1.15.5-1ubuntu3

---------------
kbd (1.15.5-1ubuntu3) wily; urgency=medium

  * Drop initramfs-tools dependency. It causes other providers of
    linux-initramfs-tool (like dracut) to become uninstallable, and is an
    ancient Ubuntu-ism which has never been forwarded, nor is it kbd's place
    to dictate whether or not you should have an initramfs.

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.
