[Bug 1109029] Re: Depend on linux-initramfs-tools

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The above packages on a quick inspection do seem to depart from using
Debian virtual package linux-initramfs-tool. They should probably be
reviewed and include the alternative dependency.

Thanks for pointing this out.

It is wishlist on the basis that it's a new, previously not available,
feature in ubuntu.

Bug description:
  Many core packages depend on initramfs-tools when they should actually
  depend on linux-initramfs-tools (virtual package provided by
  initramfs-tools and dracut).

  Debian seems to be using "Depends: initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-
  tools" for almost every relevant package.

  See also bug #1108987, which is about the fact that dracut shouldn't
  conflict with initramfs-tools.
