[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Should we warn our users of the current breakage in unstable, and how to repair it?

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

I was spared the breakage, because right now I can really only do email
work.   But from the outside, it looks like we really outght to send a
message to debian-devel at l.d.o and debian-user at l.d.o warning people of the
danger, like the X guys did.

Also, I understand anyone who installed the broken packages may have had
their sysv linkfarm damaged, which requires that we either add repair code
(if that can be done safely, which I bet it is not exactly trivial), or that
we warn people of the issue in NEWS.Debian, d-devel at l.d.o, d-user at l.d.o, and
also tell them how to repair their systems.

Sorry about actually asking about the issue instead of sending the emails
myself and commiting the changes myself, but I really won't have the
required access to do it until saturday at the very least.
