Not only that, you change the formatting of the list without a clear
need:

> --- a/debian/control
> +++ b/debian/control
> @@ -64,14 +64,16 @@ Architecture: any

> + util-linux (>= 2.26.2-3)

The comma is in the front to ensure only the lines that need to be
changed are changed.  Use this formatting instead:

  , startpar
 # sulogin, last, lastb and mesg was moved to the util-linux package
  , util-linux (>= 2.26.2-3)

This way the startpar line do not need to change and the diff is smaller
and clearer.

I suspect there are no active sysvinit maintainers any more.  I've
retired due to lack of time, and hope the others will handle this.
