The multipath-tools package only supports initramfs-tools, with the
multipath-tools-boot package specially for SAN boot.

dracut is entirely untested.

Both of these should IMO be fixed on the dracut side, especially the
symlinks.
The Conflict= lines also look like something one does not want on a
running system, IOW they should be relevant only in the initrd.

Reassigning to dracut. If there is something to be done on the
multipath-tools side, let us know.
