Mmm, I think that's not possible. The linux-image package depends on
initramfs-tools or linux-initramfs-tool (see below). If dracut
conflicts with linux-initramfs-tool it can't be installed since the
linux-image package does not (yet) list dracut in its dependency
list. Additionally initramfs-tools currently provides
linux-initramfs-tool, so why should it now conflict with it?
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
Depends: kmod | module-init-tools, linux-base (>= 3~), initramfs-tools (>= 0.99~) | linux-initramfs-tool
