[pkg-go] Bug#971815: podman: --init is broken: /usr/libexec/podman/catatonit not found

Package: podman
Version: 2.0.6+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I was testing some things that I usually run against docker with podman,
and discovered that --init does not work:

$ docker run --init debian echo Hello world
Hello world
$ podman run --init debian echo Hello world
Error: container-init binary not found on the host: stat /usr/libexec/podman/catatonit: no such file or directory

I found https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/4159 upstream

I did a quick packaging of catatonit, installed it, and with the
attached patch, I can make it work. I have just submitted an ITP for
catatonit.

$ podman run --init debian echo Hello world
Hello world

Should I go ahead and upload catatonit? Or would you rather point to a
different init by default? It seems we have quite some of them in the
archive already (tini, dumb-init, ...)?
