#923450 tech-ctte: requirements for being pre-dependency of bin:init
There was a bug filed to tech-ctte on Feb 28th that never reached our
mailing list.
The email was rejected by Debian's list managing machine (bendel)
because Amavis said "bad header". I'm copying it here now, so
that people that don't actively check our bug tracker also have
the context of this bug.
The bug is: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=923450

Subject: tech-ctte: requirements for being pre-dependency of bin:init
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 12:06:15 +0000
Package: tech-ctte
Severity: normal
Dear Technical Comitete,
currently, inclusion of new init system into Debian requires inclusion
into
pre-dependency of bin:init package, which is unsatisfactory.
As can be followed in #838480, current practice puts maintainer of any
new init system to be included into Debian at disadvantage, essentially
granting maintainer of bin:init (which happens to be `systemd' team now)
veto right. According to Constitution 3.1, individual developer poses
power of descision making only with regard their /own/ work.
Hereby, I ask TCCE to provide requirements init system must satisfy that
/warrants/ inclusion into pre-dependency of essential bin:init.
Alternatively, I ask to consider introducion of virtual package
'init-system'.
This summary of disagreement was proposed at least month ago, but there
were no input from other side (see #838480).
