Aptitude shows:

So installing the backports kernel removes initramfs-tools because it
requires dracut. Shouldn't aptitude pull in the backports version of
initramfs-tools? (I wasn't aware that there is one ....)
And why should initramfs-tools be installed when dracut is used instead?
Initramfs-tools is not installed on the VMs that run the backports kernel.
