The boot failure occurred before the root fs was mounted. Therefore no
logs were saved.
At the moment, I am quite reluctant booting again with an initramfs
generated by dracut 110-6 because yesterday I spent a lot of time
retrieving a functional boot.

However, I quite convinced it is related to the
systemd-gpt-auto-generator since I pass 'root=gpt-auto' as booting
parameter and all fs partitions are discoverable (/, /boot as efi
partition, encryted /home)

I remember that the boot process stalled with something related to the
some systemd generator process (sorry I do not remember exactly).

To retrieve a functional boot, I had to :
- boot in SystemRescueCd,
- run Debian in a chroot,
- reinstall dracut-* pakage in 110-5 version, but it was not enough:
- change the boot parameters 'root=UUID=....',
- recreate the fstab file,
- rebuild the initramfs with 110-5 version

Without cancelling the discoverable part I could not boot again.

Once I could boot again into Debian, I could revert back to
'root=gpt-auto' and the system can now boot normally with dracut 110-5
and systemd-gpt-auto-generator with discoverable partitions.

If I did not provide enough clues, I can still try to boot with dracut
110-6 to get some logs if you insist (now that I know the recipe to
retrieve a functional boot).
