* Change lsb-base depend for sysv-rc and initscripts from (>= 3.0-6) 
  to (>= 3.2-14) for the status_of_proc() function.  Patch from
  Dustin Kirkland and Ubuntu.
* Adjust init.d/umountfs to avoid using -f when umounting devices
  mounted before /, and avoid umounting file systems listed before /
  in /proc/mounts to avoid hangs during shutdown.  Patch from Colin
  Watson and Ubuntu.
* Implement status reporting in init.d/stop-bootlogd and
  init.d/stop-bootlogd-single.
* Exit with value rather than echo the value for the status action in
  rmnologin and hostname.sh initscripts. (Closes: #567074, #567069)
* Correct typo preventing sysv-rc error messages to be sent to stderr.
* Only override VERBOSE in /lib/init/vars.sh based on kernel
  argument when called from /etc/init.d/rc (Closes: #505468).
* Only use /proc/cmdline to override VERBOSE setting during boot if
  it is readable (Closes: #540008).
* Only send SIGUSR to init from init.d/mountall.sh when /dev/initctl
  was created, to reduce the chance of confusing upstart (Related to
  #569032).
* Make kernel argument parsing in /lib/init/vars.sh more robust to
  avoid incorrect matches (Closes: #557648).

  during fsck (Closes: #552029).
* Update upstream email address in the README to the current one.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix pending l10n issues. Debconf translations:
  - Russian (Yuri Kozlov).  Closes: #552415

  working on freebsd and hurd too.
* Debconf templates and debian/control changed based on review
  by the debian-l10n- english team as part of the Smith review
  project (Closes: #549539).  Thanks to Christian Perrier for
  the patch.
* Added section in README.Debian for sysv-rc, explaining the
  migration in more detail.  Thanks to Justin B Rye for the text.
* Debconf translations:
  - Added Vietnamese from Clytie Siddall (Closes: #550220).
  - Added Swedish from Martin Ågren (Closes: #550495).
  - Added Czech from Miroslav Kure (Closes: #551325).
  - Added Spanish from Francisco Javier Cuadrado (Closes: #551594).
  - Added Portuguese from António Moreira (Closes: #551675).
  - Added French from Steve Petruzzello (Closes: #551722).
  - Added Finnish from Esko Arajärvi (Closes: #551916).
  - Added Italian from Luca Monducci (Closes: #551922).
* Change if-up.d/mountnfs to not claim to wait for the last network
  interface when there are no network file systems listed in
  /etc/fstab (Closes: #512237, 481028).  Patch from Adrian Bridgett.
* Add startpar patch 05_pri_kdm_gdm.patch to try to get gdm and kdm
  to start earlier when concurrent booting is enabled.
* Quiet down sysv-rc postinst to not give error when no file exist
  in /var/lib/update-rc.d.  Discovered from piuparts.
* Report error from update-rc.d when insserv reject a script, to
  make it more clear what program call failed in a postinst.
* Drop optional dependency from checkfs to cryptdisks, the
  cryptdisks script have a reverse dependency on checkfs, and that
  is a better way to do it.
* Rewrite init.d/mtab.sh and init.d/checkroot.sh to not use
  /usr/bin/which, as it is running before /usr/ is guaranteed to be
  available.
* Rewrite /lib/init/usplash-fsck-functions.sh to use blkid instead of
  the now obsolete vol_id.  Patch from Martin Pitt and Ubuntu.
* Update 91_sulogin_lockedpw.dpatch to include documentation,
  without the Ubuntu references.  Based on patch from Scott James
  Remnant and Ubuntu.
* Add patch 55_bootlogd_flush.patch to make sure lines are flushed
  to the kernel even when not asking the kernel to flush to disk
  (Closes: 542515).  Patch from Scott Gifford.
* Add patch 63_init_keep_utf8_ttyflag.patch to make sure the utf-8
  tty flag is not cleared (Closes: 547073).  Patch from Samuel
  Thibault.
* Include url to wiki page with information on how to fix the
  problems when unable to migrate to dependency based boot
  sequencing.
* Make mountnfs-bootclean.sh also depend on $local_fs, to avoid
  surprises on systems where the admin removed mountnfs.sh from
  rcS.d/.  It is not a good idea to remove it, but there is no need
  for the script to fail when someone is crazy enough to remove a
  essential init.d script
* invoke-rc.d: return exit status 4 when action "status" is denied,
  to allow simpleminded policy-rc.d scripts to work well with the
  status action (closes: #381497)
* Fix bootlogs init.d script to output correct name and supported
  actions in usage statement. (Closes: #551263)
* Correct code in sysv-rc postinst to avoid failing to install when no
  init.d scripts have been removed (Closes: #546405).
* Start bootlogd before lvm2 too, to push it even further forward
  in the boot sequence.
* Uploading to experimental, to test the new build rules.
* Make sysv-rc postinst report detected problems to stderr too when
  failing to migrate.
* Fix typo in error message from postinst (Closes: #545409).
* Make initscripts depend on sysvinit-utils (>= 2.86.ds1-64), to
  make sure the fstab-decode program is available (Closes: #545356).
* Make sure the calls to 'update-rc.d X remove' in initscripts
  postinst do not ignore errors (Closes: #406361).
* Make sysvinit depend on sysvinit-utils (>= 2.86.ds1-66) to avoid
  that bootlogd disappear during partial upgrades (Closes: #545368).
* Restructure source package to make it possible to use debhelper in
  the common way to build the source, by moving debian/initscripts/
  and debian/sysv-rc/ into debian/src/.  Restructure build rules to
  use debhelper more, and migrate to debhelper 7.
* New patch 98_installtarget.patch to improve the sysvinit install
  target.
* Remove /etc/init.d/.depend.* in prerm, not postrm, to avoid
  surprises.
* Remove /var/lib/update-rc.d/* when the package is purged.
* Change cut-off point for the trimmed changelog entries in
  sysvinit-utils, initscripts and sysv-rc from version 2.84-3 to
  version 2.86.ds1-47, to reduce the package sizes.
* Drop hurd specific dependency on libc0.3 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-12).  It is
  no longer needed according to Michael Bunk.  Patch from Michael
  Biebl.
* Remove information about scripts in /var/lib/update-rc.d/ when
  their runlevel symlinks are removed (Closes: #545949).  Remove
  such files left behind earlier during upgrade.
* Bootlogd now starts as late as possible (Closes: #265801)
* Drop the binary /lib/init/readlink from initscripts and depend on
  coreutils (>= 5.93) instead.  Adjust scripts to use the program
  from coreutils from now on (Closes: #239342).
* Make sure insserv exit values propagate through update-rc.d to make
  sure packages with errors fail to install.
* Send all output from the sysv-rc postinst to stderr, to make sure
  we do not confuse debconf.
* Fix sysv-rc postinst to not fail when insserv report more than one
  error (Closes: #545205)
* Drop execution of files in /etc/rc.boot from sysv-rc.  This feature
  have been obsolete since before 1999.  Remove the rc.boot(5) manual
  page from the source as well.
* Make init.d/rc.local depend on $all to get it to start later in
  the boot sequence (Closes: #539084).
* Rewrite message from update-rc.d to make it more obvious that both
  start and stop symlinks are taken into account (Closes: #519553).
* Rewrite /etc/rcS.d/README and /etc/rc[2-5].d/README to explain how
  to disable a service at a given runlevel with the dependency based
  boot sequencing.  Remove the list of well known sequence numbers
  in rcS.d/ that is no longer valid with dependency based boot
  sequencing.
* Make sysv-rc Breaks: initscripts (<< 2.86.ds1-63) to make sure
  scripts working with makefile style concurrent booting is
  installed.  Not using dependency to avoid circular dependency
  between initscripts and sysv-rc.
* Move the code to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing
  during upgrades from the insserv package to the sysv-rc package.
  Depend on insserv (>> 1.12.0-10) for this.  Let initscripts depend
  on sysv-rc | file-rc to make sure they are installed first.
  Migration is a one-way process, enabled after a critical debconf
  question during upgrades when it is safe to do so (Closes:
  #540546, #541041, 541604).  Checks previously done by
  update-bootsystem-insserv are now only done once in sysv-rc
  postinst (Closes: #538934).  Dependency based boot sequencing is
  now the default.  This change make it possible to remove both
  sysv-rc and insserv (Closes: #538959) if other packages want to
  take over the boot sequencing resposibility.
* Rewrite initscripts postinst to always use the update-rc.d script
  instead of the legacy updatercd() function which was used as a
  speed optimization no longer relevant when dependency based boot
  sequencing is the default.
* Migrate from dpatch to quilt for patch management:
  - build-depend on quilt (>= 0.40)
  - provide patch and unpatch targets in debian/rules. use custom
    patch targets to allow for separate debian/patches and
    debian/startpar/patches patch series
  - keep .dpatch file extenstion to make checking changes easier
  - add debian/README.source to describe patch system we use
* Purge debian/patches/12_doc_lastb.dpatch and
  debian/patches/68_init_quiet.dpatch, they were never applied and wrong.
* Update patch header for all remaining patches.
* Call dpkg-shlibdeps debian/startpar/startpar for sysvinit-utils package
  and not sysvinit, startpar moved in revision 2.86.ds1-62.
* Remove checkdir, checkroot and buildfromsvn targets from
  debian/rules.  The latter is unused by current maintainers and the
  former can be replaced with dh_testdir and dh_testroot instead.
* Fix reject hunk of debian/patches/70_compiler_warnings.dpatch to
  fix another compile warning.
* Make sure update-rc.d compares command line parameters for start/stop
  runlevel configuration with the Default-Start and Default-Stop values in
  LSB info comment of script and warns if there are differences.
* Update sysv-rc debconf templates with text which help explain
  dependency based boot to end users, and provide sound advice for
  people who encounter problems which prevent the migration.
* Update inittab.kfreebsd-gnu: On GNU/kFreeBSD the serial devices have
  change from /dev/cuuaX to  /dev/ttydX in kernel 6.0 which is minumum
  kernel currently supported in Debian. (Closes: #544555)
* Make sure sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc checks insserv has reordered boot
  system by checking for /etc/init.d/.depend.* when CONCURRENCY=shell
  too. (Closes: #544565)
* Adjust init.d/bootlogd dependencies to start before hostname,
  procps, pcmcia, hwclock, hwclockfirst, hibernate-clean and hdparm,
  to get the bootlogger started earlier in the boot (Closes: #538936).
* Extend the update-rc.d(8) manual page to document the new behaviour.
  Do not install translated update-rc.d manual pages until they
  are updated to reflect this.
* Use versioned conflict on chkconfig (<< 11.0-79.1-2), now that it
  dropped the service command (Closes: #541727).
* Drop unneeded dependency rmnologin from init.d/stop-bootlogd, and
  correct $remote_fs dependency to $local_fs, as /usr/ is not aused.
* Drop unneeded dependency on udev for init.d/bootlogs, and add ldm
  and sdm to list of display managers to start after to get the
  complete list.
* Extend boot order migration check to reject migration if init.d
  scripts from removed but not purged packages are present.
* Add $syslog as a dependency for init.d/skeleton, as it should
  be used in the normal case.
* Change init.d/urandom dependency from $local_fs to $remote_fs, as
  it uses /usr/bin/find to handle locally increased pool size
  (Closes: #543294).
* Drop initscripts conflict on insserv (<< 1.09.0-12), now that
  sysv-rc depend on insserv (>> 1.12.0-10).
* Drop initscripts conflict on udev (<< 0.080-1), which was
  before the current oldstable was released.
* Drop initscripts conflict on usplash (<< 0.5.8-2), which was
  before the current stable was released.
* Remove code in init.d/killprocs to restart /sbin/update, as it is
  only useful for kernels up to linux 2.2, which is no longer
  supported (Closes: #544249).  Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the tip.
* Update Standards-Version from 3.8.2 to 3.8.3.  No changes needed.
* Add code in initscripts.postrm to remove rc settings for init.d
  scripts on removal to follow policy and keep lintian happy, even
  though removing initscripts will leave the system unbootable.
  Update lintian overrides to reflect this.
* Implement status argument to init.d/bootlogs, init.d/checkroot.sh,
  init.d/hostname.sh, init.d/rmnologin and init.d/urandom.
* Start generating MD5 sum files using dh_md5sum, build-depend
  on debhelper for this.  Use compat level 1 to get it to process
  debian/tmp/.
* Drop the stop calls for K11mountoverflowtmp in runlevels 0 and 6.
  The umountfs script will take care of that task (Closes: 526733).
* Remove setting of unused makefile variable LIBC6 from rules.
* Move copyright, preinst, postinst and postrm files for initscripts
  and sysv-rc to debian/ to make the build system closer to other
  source packages.
* Add the sysv-rc saveconfig script to /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/
  to provide an example.
* Let sysv-rc depend on insserv (>= 1.12.0-10) to activate
  dependency based boot sequencing by default (Closes: #472587).
* Allow forcefsck on kernel cmdline to have same effect as touching
  /forcefsck in checkfs.sh and checkroot.sh. (Closes: #529498)
* Also allow fastboot on kernel cmdline to have same effect as touching
  /fastboot in checkfs.sh and checkroot.sh.
* Do not use brace expansion in debian/rules and remove need for
  setting SHELL to /bin/bash.
* New upstream release.

  without the sysvinit init program.  Make sysvinit-utils replace
  sysvinit (<= 2.86.ds1-65) to handle this.
* Clean up control file, dropping replaces and conflicts on sysvinit
  and file-rc packages before oldstable: sysvinit (<< 2.85-1),
  sysv-rc (<< 2.86.ds1-1.2), sysvinit (<< 2.86.ds1-12) and file-rc
  (>> 0.7.0) (Closes: #509449).

  returns an error value  when it fails to find a usable pty
  (Closes: #492796).  Patch from Rob Leslie.
* New patch 96_shutdown_acctoff making sure to call accton with the
  argument off during shutdown to stop accounting (Closes: #536574).

  and another (bootlogs) which can be executed later, to make it possible
  to postpone some work until after gdm/kdm/xdm is started.  Based on
  patch from Scott James Remnant and Ubuntu.
* Add improved progress bar during fsck when usplash is used, based
  on patch from Martin Pitt and Ubuntu.  Modified Ubuntu patch to
  keep the generic splash support when usplash is not used.

* Reduce initscripts dependency on e2fsprogs to recomments and drop
  the versioned relation, as the version needed
  (1.32+1.33-WIP-2003.04.14-1) was included in a version before
  oldstable (Closes: #379340).
* Document in rcS(5) how RAMRUN and RAMLOCK affect packages creating
  directories in /var/run and /var/lock (Closes: #422257).
* Drop Miquel van Smoorenburg as uploader.  He have not been active
  since 2004.
* New patch 17_doc_halt changing halt(8) to make it clear that sync
  might happen even when -n is used.  Patch from Bill Nottingham and
  Fedora.
* New patch 47_pidof_chroot adding -c option to pidof, for only
  checking processes with the same file system root.  Patch by

  show up. Patch from Bill Nottingham and Fedora.
* New patch 95_halt-name fixing halt/reboot to work properly when used
  as login shells.  Dale R. Worley and Fedora.
* Modify 40_selinux patch to avoid aborting if a SE policy is already

  on patch from Justin B Rye.
* Add some lintian overrides to hide issues that are intentional.
* Patch startpar to add compat define for posix_fadvise() when on
  platform such as kfreebsd which does not support that. Thanks to
  Petr Salinger for the patch. (Closes: #534337)
* Patch startpar to add compat define for O_DIRECT to fix ftbfs on
  hurd. Thanks Samuel Thibault for the patch. (Closes: #534471)
* Make temp cleaning more verbose (Closes: #534609).
* Use X-Interactive flag in LSB headers of those scripts that should
  run on their own, based on the current content of insserv.conf.
  Dropped interactive flag from hostname.sh, mountkernfs.sh and
  mountdevsubfs.sh, based on testing confirming that the fix in
  #457896 made them obsolete.

  and Ubuntu.
* Add status argument support to init.d/skeleton.
* Update Standards-Version from 3.8.1 to 3.8.2.  No changes needed.
* Add missing semi-colon in LSB header of init.d/urandom (Closes:
  #501724).
* Force C locale for df command used in init.d/mountoverflowtmp.
  (Closes: #510912)
* Update startpar source to upstream 0.52 (from 0.50) and apply debian
  compatibility patch (sent upstream). Also workaround /dev/pts not
  being mounted early in runlevel S by having startpar use an own
  version of getpt(2) system call. (Closes: #457896, #484883)
* Enable CONCURRENCY=makefile mode in debian/sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc.
  This mode uses startpar and the /etc/init.d/.depend.* makefile-like
  information created by insserv to calculate boot script execution
  order. The splash API is not supported in this mode of boot. This
  mode of boot is considered very experimental at this time.
* Allow startpar using concurrency modes to operate in runlevel S, now
  that startpar can manage to work properly in absence of /dev/pts.
* Use uscan dversionmangle option to remove .ds\d+ string from modifed
  orig.tar.gz. This fixes the debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version
  lintian warning. Patch taken from diff on LP: #312764.
* Add comment to debian/sysv-rc/etc/init.d/rc about debug=echo, it
  should never be left uncommented for a real boot process and should
  only be used for interactive debugging. (Closes: #510455)
* Do not mount usbfs any more, it was deprecated long ago.
  Applications should all use /dev/bus/usb, which can be managed more
  flexibly (assign permissions with udev, and the like). Thanks Martin
  Pitt. (Closes: #483392, #422940, #360165, #471101)
* Add Homepage field to debian/control.
* Add interface for disabling system init script start links with
  update-rc.d, and enabling them again. (Closes: #67095)
* When update-rc.d in "start|stop"-mode is invoked without the final
  dot, script warnings are displayed just before the "usage" message
  is shown. Check that last argument to start|stop command is a period
  earlier. Thanks to Patrick <pet@painfullscratch.nl>.  (Closes: #512003)
* Use -delete option of find(1) instead of piping through xargs in
  debian/initscripts/lib/init/bootclean.sh. (Closes: #316468, #461103)
* Make init.d/rc simpler by dropping support for sourcing .sh files
  after the policy finally changed in 3.8.1.  Update to Standards
  version 3.8.1. (Closes: #339955, #519520)
* Allow initscripts postinst maintainer script to not fail when
  attempting to mkdir /dev/pts and /dev/shm when running in a
  fakechroot environment. This is done by checking for FAKECHROOT env
  variable before bailing out. Patch thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
  (Closes: #504877)
* Update debian/NOTES to reflect current affairs.
* Move the startpar binary to a more proper location, from sysvinit
  to sysvinit-utils.
* Comment out the code disabling fsck when running on battery.  It
  need changes in fsck to work properly (Closes: #526398).  This
  Reopens #326647.
* Add a /usr/sbin/service command (Closes: #534300).  Modified the
  manual page based on ideas from the sysvconfig package.  Thanks to
  Steve Langasek and Ubuntu.  Add conflict with sysvconfig and
  chkconfig providing the same program.
* Improve init.d/umountfs umount ordering code to avoid being
  confused while still solving #391673 (Closes: #529805).  Patch
  from Tim Phipps.
* Make sysv-rc depend on a version of sysvinit-utils with a properly
  working startpar, in case concurrent booting is enabled.
* Drop shell style concurrent booting, and make CONCURRENCY=shell
  behave like CONCURRENTY=startpar, as startpar concurrency now work
  properly.
  reopen bugs #258420, #367944.  (Closes: #392861, #391375)
