I don't have any plans to support such an option, but it should be enough to just replace `initramfs-tools` in the packages files with `dracut`, nor?

Did you look into and follow `/usr/share/doc/dracut-core/README.Debian`?

@adrelanos thanks for asking upfront! :) Providing to many options adds complexity, untested code paths,... but I'm aware that dracut provides features that initramfs-tools doesn't, so I'm not totally against...

I like that idea! I just gave it a quick shot (untested!), maybe you wanna test https://github.com/grml/grml-debootstrap/commit/43406e8955d683da38ac2cccb797a2213cc92e1c and let me know if that would solve your use case and works...

FTR, I'd like to get this integrated rather sooner than later. :)

FTR, getting inspiration from https://github.com/bdrung/bdebstrap might be interesting, if we should really rewrite grml-debootstrap

Sorry, forgot to add, I'm running latest git: ``` restic 0.1.0 (v0.1.0-145-g34bf70f) compiled at 2015-11-16 17:34:04 with go1.3.3 ``` on a Debian wheezy amd64 system, using the following command line:...

Ah that explains it. :) Thanks for your fast reply! Please let me know if I could be of any help with testing, would love to use restic also for...
