Any package shipping systemd units, which will certainly include other Priority: required packages in the future (although possibly not essential ones), will want to use init-system-helpers, since it provides a critical component of the support for multiple init systems. So while this is helpful, it's not going to resolve that issue, and dropping init-system-helpers isn't a good long-term solution. We'll instead need to figure out the best way to make sure that what that package is doing can be done correctly. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
