What's the status of such packages?They have open bugs that need fixing. For example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039171Yes, but then, shouldn't the severity be raised (as without a fix, they will no longer work in Trixie)?
Trixie still ships the sysv-generator and we are pretty much in freeze right now.
So while I can't speak for Luca, I wouldn't expect that the sysv-generator is going to be removed at this point in the release cycle or that there are plans to do so.
I read the bug report like this: By the time Trixie ships and once Forky opens up for development, the sysv-generator is going to be removed. I.e. it will be a change affecting Forky, not Trixie.
Which leaves us 2 years to fix the remaining stragglers. Regards, Michael
