Please unblock package dracut

The version 044+241-2 contains only the patch to 
fix bug #855370. The bug is about the problem that
the dracut-module "aufs" included in the Debian
package only works if the the aufs is in the module
path of the modules included directly in the kernel.
Since the aufs-module has been removed from the kernel
package and is provided by the DKMS-package "aufs-dkms"
the check() function of the dracut-module have to check
the old path and the installation path of DKMS.

Since the aufs-feature of dracut is very useful for read-only
NFS-roots that are mounted with a tmpfs as aufs-overlay, it
is very desirable to include the patch in stretch. Otherwise
many setups that use this NFS read-only/tmpfs-setup will fail
and this setup are not untypical for FAI or clusters.
