dpkg (1.9.17) unstable; urgency=low
* updated-rc.d moved to the sysvinit package. Closes: Bug#108887,#109282

There is no indication why this was done. Maybe every package providing
init provides its own update-rc.d now, which does the right thing for this
init.
As our only init currently comes from the Hurd package, it makes sense to
put a copy of update-rc.d in the Hurd package (libexec/rc, which uses the
init links, is also in the Hurd package). I will do this tomorrow.
Thanks,
Marcus
