severity 657754 serious
thanks

Thomas,

the correct severity for this bug is serious. Basically, any package needs to install properly, doing the following (disregard that /proc isn't mounted an other stuff which doesn't matter in this case):

  debootstrap sid sid http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/
  chroot sid apt-get install dracut

fails, because /usr/sbin/dracut which gets invoked through postinst depends on having at least one kernel image installed without declaring a depends to it (policy 3.5; missing depends, so to speak).

of course, the right fix is not to add a depends to a (virtual) kernel image package, but to make dracut handle gracefully and simply do nothing when no installed kernel can be found (like initramfs-tools and many other kernel related packages do).

Regards,
Daniel
