Control: tag -1 + wontfix The package is intended for normal users, for whom installing both dracut and initramfs-tools seems really rare and weird. Also your patch will even render the system not usable because now initramfs no more updates when zfs upgrades.

It is possible to further split packages into, e.g., zfs-{initramfs,dracut}-core that depends on their corresponding underlying -core packages, and make zfs-{initramfs,dracut} depend on them. However I haven't heard similar use cases from any other users. Thanks, Shengqi Chen
