I think that has already been done. Debian has one package called initscripts and another called sysvinit-core and another, related package called sysvinit-utils. Unfortunately, users often don't know which component is causing a problem which leads to a lot of bugs being filed against init (the software) instead of the init scripts. > >> The resulting changes upstream are being applied in the "2.92" git >> branch of SysV. > I assume you are aware that SysV is a short form of UNIX System V, see > <URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V >. Of course. :)
