Thanks for your offer! It would be very welcome if you wanted to test the two steps I see. step1: fix this bug report (in a contained fashion to u-l), packages at: https://people.debian.org/~ah/817857/step1/ (This is the same packaging changes as previously attached diff.) step2: once things have settled down after step1, revert half the changes of step1 and do a synchronized upload together with sysvinit. Packages at: https://people.debian.org/~ah/817857/step2/ I've manually (debootstrap + add sid, local-repo + dist-upgrade) tested: * stable -> step1 -> step2 * stable -> step2 > > Or you can do drop the debs to test in e.g. /tmp/mydebstotest (together > with a Packages file) yourself and run something like > > piuparts ... -d jessie -d sid --bindmount /tmp/mydebstotest > --testdebs-repo /tmp/mydebstotest --distupgrade-to-testdebs --apt hello > > (that will do a dist-upgrade from jessie to sid, but with some newer > local packages overriding the ones from sid) Thanks for the hint. I should start using piuparts more myself. Will look into this once I find more time which is currently scarce. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
