Reclass 1.4 changes backwards-incompatibly its data format -
specifically changing default class name from "index" to "".

This change is not mentioned in upstream changelog at
<http://reclass.pantsfullofunix.net/changelog.html> but documented in
the commit <https://github.com/madduck/reclass/commit/15e72de>:

>  Use "init" as directory index
>
> The docs mentioned 'init' (which is consistent with Salt and Python),
> but somehow I made that 'index' in the code.

The package "reeclass" has one reverse dependency, boxer, which is a
build-dependency of two source packages debian-design and debian-parl,
both of which FTBFS as a consequence of this change.

Reclass 1.4-1 should therefore not enter testing before its reverse
dependency has been adapted to use the new ABI.

Alternatively, reclass could be adapted to support the previous "index"
as fallback when "init" does not exist: That would be adequate for use
by boxer, since the new "init" happens to not be used in the boxer-data
classes currently in Debian.
