Package: init-system-helpers Version: 1.48 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainers,
Debhelper compat level 12 is stable and available in stretch-backports, but uses the --skip-systemd-native option of invoke-rc.d, thus adds init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~) to misc:Pre-Depends. This is necessary to fix https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887904. However, the resulting pre-dependency can't be satisfied in stretch, making the resulting binaries of compat 12 packages uninstallable in stretch. Could you please provide a stretch backport of a suitable init-system-helpers version to accompany debhelper 12~, or do you recommend some other solution to this problem? (I suppose installing a newer version of init-system-helpers manually to a stretch system wouldn't break it, but it's rather inconvenient even if you confirm it.) -- Thanks, Feri.
