Is RAM Wipe possible inside Whonix? Cold Boot Attack Defense

Hi,

AFAICT dracut has dracut-shutdown(8) which you can extend at will, or
convince the maintainer to ship the required logic for everyone.
However Debian’s default initramfs, namely initramfs-tools(7) currently
has no interface to hook into at shutdown, and init doesn’t even hand
execution over to the initramfs during the shutdown phase (#778849).
When such an interface is available we can ship shutdown scripts into
cryptsetup-initramfs.

cheers

Support restoring initrd on shutdown and pivoting into it (#778849)

Maybe a good reason for replacing initramfs-tools with dracut.
