[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#508686: init should clear environment

thanks

Just to be sure, I just no verified that the kernel will pass all
kernel arguments of the form foo=bar as environment variables to init.
As long as this is the case, I believe the environment variables
passed on from the kernel to init should be passed on to the childs of
init too.

I got no reply to this, as thus believe this is a wishlist issue which
we should not fix.

Happy hacking,
