Comment 8 for bug 2031304

Installing any of the dracut binary package except the dracut binary package is not doing much on their own. You can run dracut manually to generate an initrd, but the kernel hook from initramfs-tools is used generate the initrd on kernel upgrades.

Installing the dracut binary package on the other hand will provide a kernel hook but also remove initramfs-tools (since it declares a conflict on it). In that case the users would probably get a working inird, but they will get into the unsupported territory.
