  Some Ubuntu flavors fail to build: want to install dracut and
  initramfs-tools

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Some Ubuntu flavors started to fail to build livefs. For example
  Xubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/resolute/xubuntu/+build/929883

  It wants to install dracut and initramfs-tools, but only one is
  allowed.

  Current status:

  * ubuntu-server-minimal depends cryptsetup recommends dracut, no NEEDS_DRACUT (livefs builds successful, install uses dracut)
  * lubuntu-desktop-minimal recommends dracut and NEEDS_DRACUT=yes (livefs builds successful)

  Desired initrd:

  * Ubuntu desktop: dracut
  * Ubuntu server: dracut
  * Lubuntu: dracut (according to Aaron Rainbolt)
