[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] NMU to let util-linux take over /bin/mountpoint

[Andreas Henriksson]

Hello!

As previously discussed in Bug#399608 I'm planning to ship mountpoint
implementation from src:util-linux.
While investigating this I did not find it to be critical to do
before the Jessie release so I postponed it. Doing it now, early
in the Stretch development phase, would be highly desirable.

I would be very happy to not have to NMU sysvinit, or atleast get some
feedback from someone involved with sysvinit before doing so.
Please speak up now if you're willing to help out!

The actual changes are trivial, but I assume there are corner-cases
hiding here that might be hard to spot for someone like me who has no
previous experience dealing with sysvinit.
While at it, I'd also like to see the initscripts dependency changes
suggested in Bug#781766 implemented.
I'm including patches (which are completely untested as I could not get
git-buildpackage to build from your repo layout right now) for sysvinit:

 0001-Let-mount-src-util-linux-provide-mountpoint.patch
 0002-Make-sysvinit-depend-on-initscripts.patch

(Then "gbp dch --auto" to update debian/changelog)


I'm also including the patch for src:util-linux as a reference:

 0001-mount-ship-mountpoint-utility.patch



Any feedback welcome! Even if it's just to say that you intend
to look at this some rainy day in the future!

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
