About upstart problem in live-initramfs-1.118-2 (Was: A problem in live-initramfs-1.110.7)

[steven at nchc.org.tw (Steven Shiau)]

Daniel,
Please forgive my ignorance. I thought /etc/event.d/tty* is only for
upstart ? Since I can not find any /etc/event.d/tty* in my lenny box.
If it's only for upstart, both debian and ubuntu should use the same
files, right ? Therefore in 25configure_init,
-------------------------
if [ "/root/etc/event.d/tty*" != "$(echo /root/etc/event.d/tty*)" ]
                        then
                                for f in /root/etc/event.d/tty*
                                do
                                        sed -i -e "s|^exec.*|exec
/bin/login -f ${USERNAME} </dev/$(basename ${f}) > /dev/$(basename ${f})
2>\&1|" ${f}
                                done
                        fi
                fi
-------------------------
Will this break Debian ?

Thanks in advance.

Steven.
