As I wrote above, I actually don't have the time to go any road at all.

The packages worked just fine until I learnt that support for the
inittab interface is dropped in jessie.  I fixed the packages.  Now I
learnt that the existence of /etc/inittab is no longer essential, next
thing breaking my packages - when switching jessie to sysvinit.

Please advise whether I should reassign this release critically to the
init and sysvinit packages, or upload the ugly workaround to copy
sysvinit maintainer script code for generating /etc/inittab into the two
affected packages.

Regards, Gerrit.
