[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#716929: init-system-helpers: Consider dropping libmodule-install-perl dependency

Package: init-system-helpers
Version: 1.5
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu saucy

I would like to see init-system-helpers to be accepted into Ubuntu
main so that Ubuntu doesn't have to maintain a diff with the growing
number of packages using dh-systemd. See http://pad.lv/1199422

init-system-helpers build-depends on libmodule-install-perl which
depends on libmodule-scandeps-perl which depends on libprefork-perl.
All of those packages are currently in Ubuntu universe and would need
to go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess.

I didn't look at the code very much, but it looks like the perl module
could be replaced by a standard Makefile or even implemented in
debian/install or debian/rules.

Thanks,
Jeremy
