You seem to have missed this part of my message: https://bugs.debian.org/934463 Please note: Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2019 12:46:52 +0200 This soon turns 4 years old! (And my original message still contains my advice to put this in the initscripts package because as I understand it the orphan-* is supposed to be optional, but you do as you please.) As an absolute minimum here, I request that any kind of mandatory coordination comes with a specified official timeout (that's way less than 4 years obviously). Regards, Andreas Henriksson
