[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#508686: Bug#508686: update after initramfs-tools upload

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Personally, I would consider it a feature that init do not clear the
environment, but pass on all environment variables passed to it from
the kernel or initrd.  This places the responsibility where it
belongs, on those setting variables before calling init.

Why do you believe the responsibility should be moved to init?  What
if one want to pass environment variables from the initrd or kernel?

Happy hacking,
