Hello! Just a little heads up, as I noticed this bug was tagged pending. I recently dropped the (indirect) initscripts dependency from util-linux and ran into some issues, which I'm now carrying a workaround for in util-linux: http://sources.debian.net/src/util-linux/2.28-5/debian/util-linux.postinst/#L15
The problem is that when dropping the dependency you're also dropping the ordering of which packages might become configured. This means debootstrap might decide to configure your package before it configures initscripts (which is still installed in default installations even if noone depends on it because of it's priority field). If your package becomes configured it'll call out (indirectly) to insserv which does not like to configure things which has LSB header dependencies on other things which has not yet been run over by insserv. Only very few packages will likely run into this issue but I think it might be worth to know about for procps.... A generic solution is in the works, see https://bugs.debian.org/824804 Hopefully procps is not affected by this, but might be worth stalling the next upload until 824804 is fixed (and bump versioned dependency on init-system-helpers to the fixed version?!). Regards, Andreas Henriksson
