This change is WRONG. You're now depending on something which you don't actually need! (I'm not sure what the kosher interpretation of policy is on this but I'm willing to bet overinflating dependencies is RC just like lacking dependencies.) In a sysvinit-core system lsb-base is guaranteed to be there. On a systemd (default init) system, the init scripts is masked by the native systemd units shipped in the setserial package. I guess Andreas Beckmann managed to produce the piuparts error by having a broken chroot, eg. having no init system + no policy-rc.d. Andreas please confirm you're missing policy-rc.d (and have an init-less chroot, e.g. debootstrap --variant=minbase). The broken setup Andreas is likely running is now auto-detected and automagically handled with init-system-helpers 1.47 (currently in sid, soon hopefully migrating to stretch). In other words Andreas should not be able to reproduce this problem using init-system-helpers 1.47 -- where he'll just get a big fat angry warning about his system missing policy-rc.d and then automatically acting like it was there to avoid tripping any errors. https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/init-system-helpers.git/commit/?id=289e032e9eb213480e65b47cb1233a6f98bfad4f Regards, Andreas Henriksson
