The program is /sbin/init or /sbin/telinit, the package name is
sysvinit. See "man init" for the meaning of ioctl.save.

Have you tried the usual workarounds for problems like that?

  chmod 000 /etc/ioctl.save
or
  ln -s /dev/null /etc/ioctl.save
or
  touch /var/local/ioctl.save
  ln -s /var/local/ioctl.save /etc/ioctl.save
