The underlying issue has been fixed upstream and I cherry-picked it. I'll upload the fixed dracut package after writing this mail. I also look into how to prevent failing dracut tests to cause the test to hang. Note: the Dracut test takes 30 min on my beefy desktop machine. It takes three hours on a Raspberry Pi 5. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
