Thanks for the patch, and for the ping, Roger. I just read through
and tested your patch myself, and it works fine. I've committed it to
svn-resolvconf on alioth, so it should be present in resolvconf 1.38
when that comes out.
Other resolvconf developers: please report back if you see it creating
problems.
fwiw, I did a bit of reading to find references to this change, and
only found the selinux reference policy's switch to expecting
/lib/init/rw as of 20070507 [0]. It was added to the initscripts
package as of 2.86.ds1-23 (2006-09-22). If there is any sort of
concerted push to get all packages to switch to using that location
for their r/w files, it could probably be better-documented. I
couldn't find anything on wiki.debian.org, for example. Maybe it'd be
worth writing something up about it, so there's a reference for other
package authors to know what's going on?
Maybe try to get a guideline inserted into debian-policy?
