systemd supports running from within the initramfs, and it adds various features when doing so, such as timing support, or cleaner support for encrypted filesystems. Please consider making use of this. - Josh triplett

This most likely needs to be integrated into initramfs-tools directly. I don't think the hooks support in intramfs-tools is flexible enough that this can be done with a few hooks provided by systemd. I understand your wish, but this is not something which can be solved in the systemd package afaics. Michael
I don't know that it makes sense to integrate into initramfs-tools either, without significant rework of initramfs-tools. systemd shouldn't try to run initramfs-tools hooks; it should run service files, and it already has service files for half of what initramfs-tools normally does (cryptsetup, lvm, udev, etc). I agree that this isn't something to be solved entirely within systemd, but I do think it'll likely require changes to the systemd package as well. - Josh Triplett

Latest dracut releases have support / are designed to run systemd in the initramfs. If initramfs-tools can be changed to utilize systemd, I honestly don't know. I just think you are talking to the wrong people here. Michael
