Debian intends to change the default initrd generator from
initramfs-tools to dracut[1],[2].

This is a first draft to support multiple initrd generator in
ISAR. I tested it with bookworm and trixie.

Currently missing is the possibility to generate custom dracut initrd.
This will be added in a future revision of this patch set.

 - extract the initramfs-cmd from the cmdline
 - increase version of enable-fsck
 - add function to print an error in case a invalid package is installed

  add dracut to custom kernel builds

  rootfs Add dracut to initramfs generator
