Adding a "initscripts" dependency to the udev package is clearly a bad
idea, since udev does not depend on the initscripts package.

There are couple of different solutions:
1) Ignore the issue. It's a warning only after all.
2) Add Conflicts: insserv to systemd-sysv, so the package is kicked out
on upgrades (and maybe add sysv-rc, startpar, initscripts to that list).
This would ensure that users of systemd don't end up with those packages
installed.
3) Add a initscripts dependency to insserv. If you are using insserv,
you probably want the facilities provided by initscripts.


Felipe, Martin, thoughts?
