Initially I wanted to add ConditionPathExists=!/etc/initrd-release in various units (ldconfig.service, systemd-sysusers.service, systemd-hwdb-update.service, systemd-journal-catalog-update, systemd-update-done.service), but I think it's better to just disable the mechanism in the initrd altogether. Initrd images are put together in a very particular way, and there is not need to do post-update steps on them. If a unit from some other package winds up in the initrd, we wouldn't want to invoke it either. Also, any modifications are ephemeral, so any update would happen on every use. And finally, initrd images are all about speed, and we shouldn't invoke any unneeded services.
