As I wrote above, I actually don't have the time to go any road at all.
The packages worked just fine until I learnt that support for the
inittab interface is dropped in jessie. I fixed the packages. Now I
learnt that the existence of /etc/inittab is no longer essential, next
thing breaking my packages - when switching jessie to sysvinit.
Please advise whether I should reassign this release critically to the
init and sysvinit packages, or upload the ugly workaround to copy
sysvinit maintainer script code for generating /etc/inittab into the two
affected packages.
Regards, Gerrit.
