Bug#381835: initrd-tools: Cleanup of dependencies: stat

[Stefan Huehner <stefan@huehner.org>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.84.1
Severity: wishlist


Hi,
your package specifies a dependency of
"coreutils | fileutils (>= 4.1.9) | stat (>= 3.0)".

Of those fileutils and stat are dummy transitional packages. They have
been this way before sarge. Thus these are not needed for upgrade
issues.

Please consider simplifying this dependency to only list "coreutils".

Regards,
Stefan
