It's probable it will if you don't install
initscripts_2.85-7+kbsd_all.deb and sysv-rc_2.85-7+kbsd_all.deb. =P

It fails when shuting down the system because start-stop-deamon does not
stop daemons and also inetd cannot be stopped because a problem on the
pid file, thus file systems are in use and cannot be unmounted. But I'm
working on them. Also I've had a regression, the halt command was working
but I did some chnages and now it reboots, I'll look at this as well.
