In this list of binaries probably only runlevel is really interesting and maybe telinit. I don't expect the other commands to be used from maintainer scripts (or inside chroots at all). /sbin/halt /sbin/init /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot /sbin/runlevel /sbin/shutdown /sbin/telinit We could use piuparts :-) dpkg-divert runlevel and telinit (and maybe everything else, too) and replace them all with a script that, if called, checks if the divertee exists and execs it. Otherwise throw a big fat warning in a way that cannot be ignored by the package (writing to a piuparts-internal logfile inside the chroot) and make the piuparts test fail afterwards. Will create false positives on scripts doing if [ -x /sbin/$cmd ]; then $cmd else do_something --without $cmd fi That should be manageable with two new custom scripts, thereafter rerun sid, experimental, jessie2stretch ... But invoke-rc.d needs to be fixed first, otherwise (nearly) everything will fail. And fixing invoke-rc.d might produce false positives globally, so nothing gained. Or maybe runlevel should just find a new home and stay essential. That's something that probably should be available (and independent from the actual init system being used). The codesearch results for "telinit" seem manageable for manual checking https://codesearch.debian.net/results/telinit while "runlevel" is just a common word, and seldom a command.
