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

Title:
  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.
