Package: dracut
Version: 043-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

the safe-rm package installs the /usr/bin/rm wrapper, that's written
in Perl. When booting with dracut, I see tons of messages about
missing warnings.pm, and some functionality is broken (to be reported
separately, not sure yet if that's caused by dracut vs. safe-rm, or
whether I would have the same problems without safe-rm).

I suspect that dracut is including $(which rm) in the initramfs, and
is assuming that it's an ELF executable. If that's the case, given
this assumption is not valid when safe-rm is installed, on Debian we
should either include /bin/rm instead of $(which rm) in the initramfs
(sounds good), or add a Conflicts: safe-rm (which would be sad).

Thoughts?

Cheers,
