Package: base-files
Version: 6.4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi Santiago,

This is not a bug in base-files!; it's due to #628039 in initscripts:

"Don't allow migration to testing because until SELinux refpolicy
is updated to support /run, the system is rendered unusable for
SELinux users."

Because testing migration doesn't currently consider Breaks, base-files
would migrate prior to sysvinit/initscripts, which would result in
breakage (or at least uninstallability, which testing tries to avoid).
As soon as SELinux refpolicy is updated, we can let sysvinit into
testing and base-files can migrate at the same time.  So this bug is
just to block testing migration temporarily.


Regards,
Rogger
