That preseeding doesn't do this is a bug, it's filed (#668001), and the patch for it was just written on October 17th. Because Debian is going to freeze for Jessie in under 7 *hours*, the maintainers aren't going to apply this patch this close to release without extensive testing. Furthermore, the effect of this patch is trivially obtained by using a late_command to remove systemd-sysv and install sysvinit-core. If you actually want to see this patch applied to the version of the Debian installer that Jessie will release with, you should coordinate with the nice people in #debian-boot to see what type of testing they would want to see before they are willing to vet the patch. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com "People selling drug paraphernalia ... are as much a part of drug trafficking as silencers are a part of criminal homicide." -- John Brown, DEA Chief -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
