I can understand your point of view. As it is only used at
the start of the stage 2 install, and isn't referenced from
anywhere once inittab.real gets copied over inittab, perhaps
it could be deleted at that point - then it only exists on
the system for as long as the inittab that references it.
That would be in base-config/debian/postinst.
OTOH, I'm quite happy for it to just become part of base-config.
