The dracut command itself does not care about the kernel image

kernel image is installed at all.
for the specific problem mentioned in the original bug, policy wise, it
does not matter if either /etc/kernel/*/dracut handles
no-kernel-installed gracefully, or if /usr/sbin/dracut handles it.
obviously, only handling it once makes sense, but.. from a users point
of view, it would be better if /usr/sbin/dracut handles it.
that way, users see it failing early and gracefully when they want to
rebuild the initrd by hand (like update-initramfs). also, putting any
more logic than the absolute minimum in the kernel hooks seems a
worthwhile thing too.
