Dear Maintainer,

The generated package are Suggesting initramfs-tools for all of the
binary packages. This is probably because some of them want to be
installed in the initramfs and are installing a hook for
update-initramfs.

From my understanding, since forky is going to use dracut instead of
initramfs-tools, this suggest does more harm than good. I think we
should just remove it, or maybe replace it with dracut.

Thanks,

Agathe.
