[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#897933: libguestfs0 insane dependency hell

[Roman Mamedov]

Yep, stumbled upon this just now too, as trying to get just one simple utility
which happens to be packaged in "libguestfs-tools", suddenly wanted to install
a DHCP client and systemd on my machine. Folks, seriously? Moreover, stretch
was supposed to be usable without systemd, but here we have:

  dep: systemd    system and service manager

  or sysvinit     Package not available

How can you have package in stretch (option-)depend on a package not in it?
I'm not an expert on your packaging names, but I suppose the new name for that
one is sysvinit-core.

Too sad to see Debian at this level of quality, I guess there's really no
other option than to migrate to Devuan.
