Public bug reported:

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.

Desired initrd:

* Ubuntu desktop: dracut
* Ubuntu server: dracut
