You can install and use upstart in Debian, and it's still a fully supported init system at this point. As to this specific issue, I'm more inclined to figure out why cgroupfs-mount (and the cgroup-lite package it descended from) felt the need to include "mountall" in the first place, and see if we can remove that dependency entirely without too much blowback (or move it to Suggests and make it Recommends instead on platforms which are known to be using upstart by default, like older Ubuntu suites before the systemd switch). I'd also be +1 to patching out the "/sys/fs/cgroup" code from the upstream init scripts since it really falls very directly under "Convenience copies of code" (Debian Policy 4.13 [1]), and upstream includes it to be more tolerant of systems that don't have either cgroupfs-mount or cgroup-lite available (older suites, for example, like Ubuntu Precise). ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4 [1]: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
