Package: systemd-standalone-tmpfiles
Version: 257.13-1~deb13u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-init-diversity at chiark.greenend.org.uk

Dear Maintainer,

systemd-standalone-tmpfiles does not ship with an initscript but by definition
this is needed by any user of the standalone package!

This has become more important now that a lot of packages in forky have had
fallback directory creation etc. removed from maintscripts and initscripts at
the same time as tmpfiles drop-ins have been added (not when I've added them).

Could an initscript be added, please? This ought to cover all non-systemd users
in one go as alternative init systems all fall back to these.

Thanks!

Andrew
