Hi,
Here's a description of the changes needed for initscripts to work without
patching (see http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/patches/sysvinit/03_hacks.diff
for details):
dmesg: accept -s
swap{on,off}: don't print anything to stdout
mount: accept -n, -o remount
umount: accept -r and -d, accept multiple mount points in one command
If someone is interested in hacking the stuff from freebsd-utils, I think these
should take priority so that we can start using sysvinit in unstable.
Note: Except for the umount ones, it's not important that the flags actualy
work. Currently we're just removing them so it wouldn't make any difference.
