How about enhancing urpmi to read prefer.vendor.list during distro
upgrade? That would solve this issue.
either by a specific --upgrade flag,
or automatically when mageia-release-common bumps version, would that
work ?

Or maybe we should add systemd and dracut as suggests to basesystem ?
(and not the hard requires on systemd...), that would pull them in.

Umm.

If both dracut and mkinitrd provides mkinitrd, the prefer list must
contain the one we want by default, wich is what I did here.
