[PKG-OpenRC-Debian] Bug#827733: Better manage /sbin/init by busybox

[Benda Xu]

Hi Jon,

Very interesting patch!

A package busybox-init, similar to busybox-syslogd, makes more sense to
me.  It can be made openrc-neutral.

The Debian openrc package is a drop-in replacement to sysv-rc, the
latter provides /etc/init.d/rc and /etc/init.d/rcS.  OpenRC follows this
convention so that /etc/inittab (of sysvinit) is not needed to be
updated.

It is also desirable to run busybox-init + sysv-rc or busybox-init +
file-rc.  It can be achieved if the /etc/inittab of busybox-init is
written as that in the appendix.


@debian-boot team, do you think such a busybox-init package feasible?  If
so I am going to reassign this bug to src:busybox.

Yours,
Benda
