Bug#823611: init-system-helpers: invoke-rc.d fails in chroots: invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel

[Adam Borowski]

Package: init-system-helpers
Version: 1.32
Severity: grave

Since this night's upload, uses of invoke-rc.d inside a chroot fail with:
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel

This makes a crapload of packages uninstallable -- many pretty deep in
dependency chains.

We have two /sbin/runlevel implementations in Debian: sysvinit-core and
systemd-sysv, both fail the same way.

This bug is especially nasty as it makes almost all package builds in
sbuild/pbuilder FTBFS.
