Public bug reported:

Attempting to switch a plucky install on raspi to dracut attempts to
remove flash-kernel (which is required to copy the generated initrd and
other artifacts to the boot partition). This is because flash-kernel
depends on initramfs-tools (which is going to be removed):

$ sudo apt install dracut
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  devio  libiniparser4  libraspberrypi0  libubootenv-tool  libubootenv0.1  
mtd-utils  u-boot-tools
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

Installing:
  dracut

Installing dependencies:
  dracut-core

Suggested packages:
  dracut-network  dmraid

REMOVING:
  cloud-initramfs-copymods  cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf  flash-kernel  
initramfs-tools  overlayroot  ubuntu-server  ubuntu-server-raspi


Given dracut now contains drop-in replacements for the various binaries 
provided by initramfs-tools, could dracut simply "Provide: initramfs-tools" (as 
well as linux-initramfs-tool as it currently does)?
