Package: base-files
Version: 6.11
Severity: serious
If this release reaches testing before initscripts 2.88dsf-27, the
following will happen to anybody installing a new system from scratch:
base-files creates /etc/motd as a real file.
initscripts in testing removes the first line of /etc/motd to create
/etc/motd.tail
Then, when you upgrade to initscripts in unstable, the file
/etc/motd.tail is moved back to /etc/motd.
The problem with this is that the /etc/motd which is created by
base-files 6.11 already has the first line trimmed (i.e. it is already
in "motd.tail format").
I could have avoided this by using a Breaks: but such relation is too strong.
It is ok to have base-files 6.11 and initscripts 2.88dsf-22.1 in the system
as far as you bootstrapped the system with base-files 6.9 or earlier.
So, this is a dummy bug to prevent base-files 6.11 to enter testing.
Should be closed as soon as initscripts 2.88dsf-27 or later reaches testing.
If they enter testing at the same time, even better.

Clearly I missed #678106, so base-files didn't migrate in tonight's
brintey run; closing it with this mail, so it should hit testing
tomorrow.
