retitle 484883 startpar source should be package differently
thanks

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-61

startpar source code is currently dumped into sysvinit source package and
has custom patches applied which are not part of the package patch system.
This is bad, because it makes it very difficult to sync with upstream.
Therefore, I am removing my request to sync with upstream for two reasons:

1) upstream has made more significant changes since i sent the patch here
2) its very difficult to sync to new upstream with the bastard copy of
   startpar in sysvinit source package

Please consider having an own startpar package, I would love to help.

Thanks, Kel.
