Moving the dependency to another package does not remove the
dependency ;), so this bug is not fixed.
AFAICT, initscripts itself is only needed to ensure the Required-Start
dependency of keyboard-setup.sh. This problem is solved by replacing
the dependency with init-system-helpers (>= 1.29~), which will do the
right thing when initscripts is not installed (ie, not abort the
installation).
