please do not blame me for redhat-lsb packaging...

initscripts are not required for kernel at runtime:

| $ rpm -e --test initscripts 2>&1 | grep kernel
| $

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.
