A Keel container never builds an initrd: the initramfs tooling is part of the boot set, which lives in the per-appliance boot layer the ISO is made from (handbook decision 0052). Upstream's default EXTRA_PKGS pulls initramfs-tools (and dracut-install, klibc, linux-base with it) into the bootstrap, so every layer inherits it and keel assemble refuses the template (keel#89).

Same list as upstream, without initramfs-tools, set in bt-bootstrap so every bootstrap this fork builds is a container's.
