Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120909 Severity: wishlist Hi Joey,
recent change in dh_installinit adds a version-depends on sysv-rc, which prevents making dependencies in OpenRC in a way so that it can replace sysv-rc easily. Please apply attached patch so that it fixes it. Note that I would appreciate a quick action here, as each time a package is rebuilt with the current debhelper, another barrier to OpenRC is created, which is not cool. Currenlty, at least openssh-server and ifupdown are prblematic in the base install, and I expect a lot more package to need a rebuild with the fixed debhelper. Alternatively, maybe we could invent a new virtual package? I'm not sure that's a good idea, but I still would like to put this on the table, in case you think it's the right thing to do... Cheers, Thomas
