Package: init-system-helpers Version: 1.48 Severity: minor Hello,
Since upgrade to Debian 9.0, I noticed exists now /etc/rc0.d etc These directories did not exists before because I do not use sysv-rc but openrc. This, in addition to /etc/systemd, which I do not use either, create unnecessary confusion. As far I understand, /etc contains "Host-specific system configuration" (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION) I think it is misleading to force config presence from non-installed and unused software to cohabit with installed and used one. That is clearly not "host-specific". To the next sysadmin, it might give the idea that the system is ready for any init system seemlingly configured while it is only really properly set up for one. I suggest that directories in /etc specific to some init be installed only if it is actually on the system. So : /etc/rc*.d should be provided by some init-system-helpers-sysv-rc /etc/systemd by some init-system-helpers-systemd and these subpackages should not be essential and installed everywhere, but suggested and depended upon only by init that requires them (so far, sysv-rc systemd). Or you drop the essential character of the package. /etc would be such a mess if every possible software installed on a Debian system had directories there just in case. I am sure many sysadmin prefers to have only necessary/required and cross-checked configuration in /etc, not sample of whatever possible.
