Do you have a suggestion for improving pcmciautils' message?
Well, I think mentioning pcmcia-cs in the pcmciautils message would help. I'll make up some suitable wording and apply that shortly. In Ubuntu we just suppressed this message on boot (but not on '/etc/init.d/pcmciautils start' etc.), which might help too. > Otherwise, if having necessarily 1 init script failing when both pcmcia > packages are installed is not acceptable, would using the same init > script for both packages be an acceptable solution? The init scripts need to do different things, and I'd rather not have the two packages depend on each other that way, at least not until we have a pcmcia-common or similar. It's actually useful for the init scripts to be separate I think - it means that we can discard a lot of the old pcmcia-cs cruft (no offence, Per!) in the pcmciautils init script and make it a lot more comprehensible.
