There is some ongoing effort to stop installing "initscripts" by
default, as it's not necessary under systemd [1].
I noticed that without initscripts, the only failed service at boot is
/etc/init.d/grub-common:
| ● grub-common.service - LSB: Record successful boot for GRUB
|Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/grub-common; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

Indeed /etc/init.d/grub-common unconditionally sources /lib/init/vars.sh
without depending on initscripts. Of course we don't actually want to add this
dependency, but robustify the init.d script to get along without vars.sh.
It only uses this to conditionalize the log_action_msg call. I think
this is unjustified -- the backend/consumer of these log messages,
(like plymouth or just console) should decide what to do with the
messages, and most other packages that I know unconditionally do the
log_* LSB calls.
I attach a patch which removes the /lib/init/vars.sh sourcing and thus
the initscripts dependency.
Thanks,
Martin

* debian/grub-common.init: Don't source /lib/init/vars.sh, we don't depend
on initscripts (and don't want to). There is no reason why we would not
use the LSB log_action_msg in non-verbose (default) mode, most other
packages use it unconditionally. (LP: #1584134)
