init-select contains a grub config snippet that unconditionally runs a command, which will cause failures (in update-grub and friends) if init-select was removed but not purged. This was noticed on jessie->stretch upgrades of coreboot where init-select was installed in jessie (but gets removed during the upgrade to stretch). I verified the bug and fix in a jessie chroot with * apt-get install init-select * apt-get remove init-select * apt-get install grub-coreboot init-select is not in stretch and has now been removed from sid as well.
