But this is not the solution. The solution is a change to the package after which end-user, once installed it on to the standard Debian system, will have to take zero steps to get it working. As the root cause of the issue is the policy violation I see the simplest and straight forward solution as to move file in question to standard location to comply with standards. From your message I can conclude that you are going to make the package dependent on new versions of initramfs-tools, sysvinit and util-linux packages which seem to be not available yet. Is this correct? Reading all these threads (bug #652459 and related) I thought that guys must have good reason to make simple things so complicated. I share believe that initramfs is to provide the kernel with the module to mount real rootfs. All the rest can be done by real init. Thanks to Robert Tracy I realized what is the reason. It's all about systemd! This answered all my questions... Best regards, Andriy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
