[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#932619: mailman deliberately broken on non-systemd systems

[Mike Bird]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.29-1
Severity: important

Buster mail removes /etc/init.d/mailman.

Restoring /etc/init.d/mailman from stretch, for those lucky enough to
have a backup, restores the functionality.

The fix is simple - restore this critical file that you have deleted
from our servers without even asking permission!

For those who don't have a backup, a copy is attached.
