Source: dracut
Severity: serious
Justification: blocks other packages from migrating

Dear Maintainer(s),

The dracut autopkgtests on ppc64el are flaky, and many runs fail:

https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/dracut/testing/ppc64el/

What's worse is that each run is ~7 hours, so it takes a full day just
for a couple retries. This blocks other packages from migrating.

If this is not possible to fix, please consider disabling autopkgtest
on ppc64el, or marking the test suite as flaky. Thanks.
