Canek, as you've been using dracut already extensively, is it possible to set
default options/modules/whatever to get to the situation where simply running
"dracut" without any extra options will always recreate the correct initramfs?

And, if the initramfs has other tools in it, after every emerge of these
tools. This is where I see a possible cause for failure as then the situation
arises where the initramfs will still start "correctly", but because it's
using older tools it's possible that older versions and new versions start
running simultaneously and get mixed up in a way that is not immediately
apparent.
