Details

The archiso scripts seem to have an assumed dependency on `mkinitcpio` hooks being run. For `dracut` users, `mkinitcpio` hooks are usually disabled and this results in iso unbuildable.

Steps to reproduce:
* install dracut and disable mkinitcpio hooks, replace with dracut hooks
* follow instructions to build archiso on the wiki
* get an error message due to `vmlinuz-linux` not found, can't cotinue.
This task depends upon

@xuanrui: Thanks for the report.

Yes, as dracut and mkinitcpio both provide initramfs we have now decoupled our hard requirement on mkinitcpio.
This is not yet reflected in archiso and I guess I will have to add a specific dependency on mkinitcpio for the package and project.
