Should installkernel be passing --dracut to new-kernel-pkg?

Hi,
/sbin/installkernel doesn't pass --dracut to /sbin/new-kernel-pkg, so a
make install from a kernel.org kernel tree tries to
invoke /sbin/mkinitrd rather than dracut. Is that intentional?
Also, any ideas on why a dracut-generated initramfs image generated for
a kernel.org kernel tree would be so much larger than the Fedora kernel
one (same .config)?
