why is dracut conflicting with initramfs-tools?
shouldn't that conflict be solved in Debian?
note there is no intention to support alternative initramfs implementations in Ubuntu main.

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

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

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