Hi,
the problem of having to cope with a non-existing inittab would imho be solved if the inittab file could be transplanted to base-files. But then, sysvinit would need to be modified to patch an existing inittab, instead of simply installing its basic "known-good" version. I am not sure that this will not simply open a different can of worms. The decision then becomes, which entries to keep, and which to overwrite. It also looks like the keys in the inittab are agreed upon by convention, not by standard - right?
