You seem to have missed this part of my message:
https://bugs.debian.org/934463
Please note: Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2019 12:46:52 +0200
This soon turns 4 years old!
(And my original message still contains my advice to put this in the
initscripts package because as I understand it the orphan-* is
supposed to be optional, but you do as you please.)
As an absolute minimum here, I request that any kind of mandatory
coordination comes with a specified official timeout (that's way less
than 4 years obviously).
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
