the _kernel_ requires the package initscripts is installed.
initscripts are not required for kernel at runtime:

Netherless, this seems to be a packaging bug; initscripts are a
Requires(pre/post) for kernel but none of these scriptlets use them.
Perhaps grubby/mkinitrd/dracut needs them, but not the kernel.
