I discussed the multipath-tools dependency in the context of Debian.
But for multipath it really is a dependency.
The bug will soon switch to closed (wont'fix)
Yet OTOH it only is that for multiapth-tools-boot and kpartx-boot.
These are optional installs - even multipath-tools only suggests that.
But these packages don't work correctly anymore if you switch to dracut.
Due to that it is "correct" to have a hard dependency.
Yet your need to be able to install dracut is fulfilled.
Only users who explicitly picked multipath-tools-boot will have to decide what
they want.
The other packages are fixed.
** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Bug description:
Many core packages depend on initramfs-tools when they should actually
depend on linux-initramfs-tool (virtual package provided by initramfs-
tools and dracut).
Debian seems to be using "Depends: initramfs-tools | linux-initramfs-
tool" for almost every relevant package.
See also bug #1108987, which is about the fact that dracut shouldn't
conflict with initramfs-tools.
