Yes, livecd-rootfs/live-build/germinate needs to add support for dracut.

Use dracut instead of initramfs in the live environment

Bug description:
Obs: I'm reporting for dracut, but I'm not sure what project is. I
couldn't find something like cloud-image for the non-cloud images.
When we boot a machine using a daily-live iso (I used the one from
2026-03-11), it still uses initramfs, not dracut.
You can check executing in the terminal in the live environment: `dpkg
-l|grep dracut`.
If the desktop version uses dracut, IMHO, it's expected that dracut is
also installed in the live environment.
