[Bug 2098525] Re: Add dracut support for update-initramfs command

[Marcos Alano]

One more thought: I searched about `kernel-install`, I never used TBH, and it seems that also touches, or can touch, kernel configs, and the goal is to update just the initrds.
Also is, AFAIK, a tool from systemd, so if the user is using others init systems (not ideal, I know), update-initramfs wouldn't work.
Based on this, I think we should call dracut directly. Maybe we can convert the command to support the existent initramfs-tools and dracut, and perhaps systemd-mkosi in the future, or reimplement the tool and put in a package like dracut-tools, or something like that.

Please, let me read your thoughts.

Title:
  Add dracut support for update-initramfs command

Status in dracut package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As requested by bdrung here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-
  switch-to-dracut/54776/7?u=mhalano, I'm opening this ticket.

  The idea is to add support for dracut in the `update-initramfs`
  command. The idea is to use the same easy syntax with dracut as we use
  to use with initramfs-tools.

  I don't know for sure what is the optimal approach to solve this,
  though, maybe add support to the command creating a more agnostic
  tool, or create a wrapper just for dracut.
