I assume option 1 is intended to represent the status quo, in which there is no prohibition on depending directly on an init system? That seems like it should be stated explicitly, even if only in clarifying text, since at first I wondered why there wasn't an equivalent of option 2 without the requirement for virtual dependencies, before realizing that this is already permitted and the TC need only refrain from adding restrictions. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
