Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
on a Debian stretch/unstable system using systemd as init system, the initscripts package is no longer required. We asked all packages with explicit dependencies to remove it and it is now possible to uninstall initscripts without any ill side-effects. update-rc.d has been updated to cope with the fact that the facilities defined by initscripts do not exist. It is therefor safe to no longer install the initscripts package by default. Please lower the priority of initscripts accordingly.
