The kexec-tools usually create initramfs-KERNELVERSIONkdump.img in /boot.
On some operating systems, the /boot directory can be read-only,
preventing the image file from being created. In newer kexec-tools
package versions, the image files are created in /var/lib/kdump
in case /boot is read-only.
The kdump_manage_lib_files() interface was created and rpm_script_t
allowed to manage /var/lib/kdump files. This is needed when the
/lib/kernel/install.d/60-kdump.install kernel install hook is triggered
to delete unused images.
