Excellent! I don't know how many versions you plan to keep for stretch, if 5.6 is to be part of it, please remember to fix it there as well. > > 5.5 is pending removal (#811158) so we won't fix it there. I presume > this isn't severe enough to justify fixing in stable? No, there is no point in fixing in stable. A key part of the dependency removal needed a change in update-rc.d that will not be backported. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
