[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#851747: sysvinit-utils: unmaintained package should not be Essential

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Simon,

Simon McVittie [2017-01-18 12:48 +0000]:
> /lib/init/init-d-script
> /lib/init/vars.sh

These two are entirely Debian specific, so I don't think keeping them in
sysvinit-utils hurts much anytime soon.

> /bin/pidof == /sbin/killall5 (same program)

This already got discussed a while ago, it would be nice to build/ship this in
procps which is the actual upstream for this: https://bugs.debian.org/810018

> /sbin/fstab-decode

The above bug talks about this as well. There are just two reverse
dependencies, so adding a dep to sysvinit-utils to these two packages is rather
simple.

Martin
