Package: dracut Version: 011+36+gd727c5a-1 Severity: grave This is the output from aptitutde/dpkg I got when upgrading:

If thw goal is to be able to install dracut and initramfs-tools at the same time, it would be a good idea to have some (debconf-driven?) mechanism that makes sure only one of the packages is responsible for actually creating the initramfs.
