Package: puppet-common Version: 3.6.1-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
The commit at [0] introduces a versioned dependency on sysv-rc, in response to a change made to the Debian service provider in [1], effective as of tag debian/2.6.4-2. This change uses the new insserv-style enable/disable commands with update-rc.d, supported only by the newer sysv-rc. However, tags debian/2.6.8-1 and newer also contain the commit at [2], which is an upstream fix that chooses the appropriate update-rc.d command based on the version of sysv-rc. These package versions are therefore compatible with older versions of sysv-rc, so the versioned dependency is no longer necessary. Removing this versioned dependency would make backporting Debian's Puppet package to old releases easier. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Steven.
