Bug#830894: override: initscripts:admin/optional

[Michael Biebl]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

on a Debian stretch/unstable system using systemd as init system, the
initscripts package is no longer required. We asked all packages with
explicit dependencies to remove it and it is now possible to uninstall
initscripts without any ill side-effects.
update-rc.d has been updated to cope with the fact that the facilities
defined by initscripts do not exist.
It is therefor safe to no longer install the initscripts package by
default.

Please lower the priority of initscripts accordingly.

Regards,
Michael
