+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1202351 +++

Upstream support removed in March 2021
(https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/43df4ee2) and deprecation
announcement on factory mailing list in May 2021
(https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/GDAZ7TVXS2BAXENVBAMHVXVHLSR7D7NQ/).

ALP will not ship the mkinitrd wrapper, so it's better to get rid of it in
Tumbleweed first.

Affected packages that need to be updated before (at least):

# zypper se --requires mkinitrd
