In 2015, at Debconf, there was a BoF session about kernel and userland. There dracut was mentioned. Back then too, we had the same problem. We (different package maintainers as well as the dracut package maintainer) agreed that the way forward to have better integration is to make more people use it. But, for Debian, that usually only happens when someone puts that effort. And for a core piece like initramfs, there's quite some work. Back then, initramfs-tools was unmaintained if I remember correct. Because we did discuss for some time on how to maintain it ahead. And dracut was vetted as an alternative. But sadly, not much seems to have progressed from then to now. Instead, it seems, initramfs-tools got an active maintainer. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
