The kernel team has decided, together with the dracut maintainers, to
switch the default initramfs builder to dracut during the forky
release cycle, and ideally quite soon.

This means that:

    Depends: initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-tool

will be replaced by:

    Depends: dracut | initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-tool

(with appropriate minimum versions).  There is no plan to force a
switch to dracut during an upgrade, but new installations with d-i
should include dracut.

It appears that flash-kernel and possibly other packages will need to
be updated to support dracut.  Those bugs will be added as blockers
for this one.

Hi,

We have already uploaded this switch with
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/aa27862b9f6f684e69f4ae91280908a65b46bfa9

Should we track a fixed version accordingly even if more work has to
be done to switch to dracut by default?

Regards,
Salvatore
