[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#338299: Acknowledgement (sysvinit-static: Statically-compiled sysvinit package)

[Ryan Finnie]

Sorry about that.  My editor died during an xterm resize, and somehow 
reportbug interpreted that to mean "send immediately!", which it did.

In bug #26784, it was discussed whether /sbin/init should be 
statically-compiled.  Nothing came of it (which is good; I don't think 
it should be statically-compiled on every installed machine).  However, 
I have a situation where I need to umount the partition that /sbin is 
on, and init is the only process left with files open on that partition. 
  In that situation, I created a package (sysvinit-static) with 
statically-compiled init and sulogin that diverts the original 
dynamically-compiled init/sulogin out of the way.

Attached is a diff against the current 2.86.ds1-4.
