I think dracut should provide a dpkg trigger, which individual packages,
like systemd, mdadm, lvm2 etc can trigger upon (de)installation, to make
sure the initramfs is up-to-date.


When we talked about dracut being triggered by initramfs-tools via a
file trigger based on /usr/share/initramf-tools hooks, you didn't like
this idea and you want individual packages to trigger the update
explicitly [1].


/usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz has some documentation about
explicit triggers. Would be great if you can add trigger support to dracut.
