Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.60
Severity: minor
I would like to install busybox-static on my system.
However, initramfs-tools still depends on the obsolete package
busybox-cvs-static. I therefore ask you to change the dependencies,
so not all users of busybox-ststic need to tweak their apt with the
equivs package to fake the existence of a busybox package.
