Probably an insightful observation -- or not -- but the initramfs-tools 
v0.146 commit of reference effectively generates a hybrid tool by 
including an utility from dracut.

Current Debian Trixie packaging for Dracut is version 106-6 and I took 
that source, modified a couple of files by adding reiser4 on relevant 
lines; the initrd.img- it produced booted my reiser4 -formatted root '/' 
partitions on the very first try. On the other hand, I have expended 
much time but not had any luck with initramfs-tools- v0.146+, v0.148, 
nor v0.150 (this last suggested/required by report-bug prior to 
submitting bug report), which introduce and carry on that hybrid commit 
of reference -- unless, of course, I strip away that commit which caused 
the regression.

The trivial reiser4 SFRN 4.0.2 patch for Dracut is attached in case it 
may be useful to anyone struggling with hybrid initramfs-tools- and an 
'unsupported' file system.
