I have near zero experience with dracut. I opened this bug report because we want to replace isc-dhcp-client in Ubuntu. I suggest that someone with experience (e.g. the Debian maintainer) could write an autopkgtest for testing this automatically. You can get some inspiration for it from the qemu-net autopkgtest for initramfs- tools: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/77 This test builds a stripped down root filesystem image that checks that the boot was successful. It builds a initramfs and boots that with qemu. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
